I remember seeing TI's post after that listing ended. It was for three of the original 1980 Ertl Blumo (1:64).

Yup.And they are in excellant condition.

- Well these went up to and over the $200 range and held there for the last few years. There's still some over $200 on daBay at this moment. This one with a Buy It Now of $145 is about the cheapest I've seen in a long time. "mr.continental" ships from Michigan ...

The car has never been displayed and comes in all its original packaging.

- No box but it's all there. Starting bid is $59.99 in Missouri.

The model has been stored in a clear plastic model display case. It appears that all the parts are present and I see no damage. The “ropes” that tie down the speaker on the back of the car do not want to stay in the provided holes - they will probably need a spot of glue to hold them in place, but I will let the buyer do that if they choose.

Okay, so I think I'm gonna sell my 2 Bluesmobiles, Does anyone here want them? One is unmolested. The boxes are in okay shape, a little wavy because they're hard to open and harder to close, but they aren't all torn up or worn out, they've been sitting on the shelf in the closet. The other Bluesmo was pretty chopped up from my "I'm gonna put lights and an R/C motor in this" days. I found all the parts though and super glued them back together so that it looks decent when it's on the base. (most of the chopping was underneath) It's got a custom paint job, made it more movie-like, I cut the CB off the floor and made it into the 8-track and cut it into the dash, bendy antenna, real ropes on the speaker, and briefcase moved to the front seat.

I'm thinkin' $100 for the unmodded one
$50 for the other.

- This one is claimed to be a "Prototype < 1 of a kind >"

You are bidding on an ERTL die cast 1:18 scale Blues Brothers BLUESMOBILE Prototype. Car has a die cast body and an opening hood and trunk. This car was never released as is. The following elements should be noted:

- Wrong body graphics
- Wrong color rims
- Missing deco on roof speaker
- Wrong interior color
- Missing deco on dashboard
- Mockup ERTL package

Car is in mint condition and being sold as is.

It's unlike anything we've ever seen around here but I certainly can't vouch for the authenticity of the claim. Bidding is at $102.50 with 4 days to go.

- These 1:18 ERTL's are still a pricey item ... even the empty box is $50 bucks !! Then again, with asking prices still $200+ and even $300+ on daBay why not ask $50 for the box ? My only question would be, is there any precedent set for these types of sales ? Empty diecast boxes ? I've never seen empty boxes for sale before, maybe it's a more common practice than I'm aware of.

Box has dust and wear. Front window has a couple dings and a crease, and is bowed in. Box is empty. The black plastic base that holds the car is not present.
