This guy is selling Betty White's Cadillac Seville car that was featured in the "Mama For Mayor" two-parter.

It's very cool - now you can finally see what her car looks like, close up!

Really cool! I went to the site--pretty good deal. I cannot believe anybody that owns a car that once belonged to Betty White and appeared on Mama's Family would ever sell it, for any price!

I absolutely have to agree!

I just now checked, and there are three bids on it already. Wonder who's going to win it?

It's at NINE bids now and more than $2777!

I bet the shipping costs of getting it to the buyer are killer!! I guess $2777 isn't that bad for a slice of tv history for someone with lots of money! It says that the reserve is not met...that means that there is a minimum price on the car and that $2777 is not at the minimum price yet. I wonder what the minimum price the seller is going to sell it for!

I'm not even sure how the winner is going to get the car, either!

That IS true...The way the seller is selling it, he's practically giving it away at no charge.

This will be interesting to see how the auction ends!

PZelda · 02-23-2004, 11:16 PM

Wow! 13 bids now...$3100 on the nose, AND the reserve is STILL not yet met.

FamilyTiesGOP · 02-24-2004, 12:04 AM

I don't blame the person for creating a minimum price. I would never sell it for $3100 unless I needed money really badly. I am VERY curious in finding out what the car will actually sell for!

PZelda · 02-24-2004, 12:08 AM

Me too! I'm going to guess $10K is the reserve...what about you?

I'm definitely following this auction closely until it ends on Sunday!

FamilyTiesGOP · 02-24-2004, 03:01 PM

This is like Price is Right!

I'm guessing the mimimum is probably between 8-10K, I'm really anxious to know what it will sell for. I mean it is a 1977 so it can't be but so expensive even though it did belong to Betty White.

It is up to $3677 now!!

There was a guy selling a military plane that required assembly too, but I think he had to take it off Ebay.

There was a check signed by Rick Nelson on there also awhile back made out to the place he'd leased the plane from that went for around $3,000.

Yep...Betty White is something of a legend now, when you think about it!!

I was just going to say that, too! It's up to 15 bids now, too.

NEATO! I remember a while ago (this was nearly two months ago, I think...I Love Carol Burnett! and I were having a chat, so we were looking around on eBay), I saw a check on eBay that Carol Burnett had signed for a massage...I don't remember what the starting price was or how much it sold for, but it was pretty neat to see a check that Carol had written out.

Update:

$4,677.81 and 21 bids now....
