Howdy All,

I was surfing around eBay today trying to figure out the best way to spend the 'ol tax return check that will be arriving any day now when I ran across a very interesting car for sale.

If you remember the story about the convertible Tucker that the Old Cars Weekly gang covered recently, then you understand that this car is clearly veiled in mystery and possibly even a little misconception.

However, according to the OCW  article, there is one fact that is clearly not debatable. And that fact is that Benchmark Classics, a collector car dealership and restoration shop in Madison, Wis., currently has the Tucker that has sparked so many arguments, and the company plans to finish the car off and unveil it to the world in May.

Well, apparently the guys in Madison aren't intending to hang on to this interesting car since it appeared for sale on eBay recently.

After reading their description and choking on the sticker price (A mere $5 million) I began to wonder if folks haven't been so jaded by all the recent talk of economic stimulus and Barrett-Jackson auctions that when folks ask for huge numbers it fails to surprise us any longer...

While some may think that a $5 million pricetag is not unbelieveable since this is clearly a "one-of-a-kind" car, for me, the car is way to similar to the Cadillac described by the late Jonny Cash in his song "One Piece at a Time."

Well, I left Kentucky back in '49
An' went to Detroit workin' on a 'sembly line
The first year they had me puttin' wheels on cadillacs

Every day I'd watch them beauties roll by
And sometimes I'd hang my head and cry
'Cause I always wanted me one that was long and black.

One day I devised myself a plan
That should be the envy of most any man
I'd sneak it out of there in a lunchbox in my hand
Now gettin' caught meant gettin' fired
But I figured I'd have it all by the time I retired
I'd have me a car worth at least a hundred grand.

While I personally love the idea of there being a convertible Tucker out there, what we have here seems to me to be a little more Frankenstein than Tucker.

But, I guess that means that I'll be able to save my tax return this year rather than blowing it all on a topless Tucker.

What do ya'll think?
