Yes. The stands on ebay are 750 kg and a fully assembled RST is around 1000 kg. 2 stands would hold a complete car weighing 1500 kg. Obviously the car would be stripped and weigh a lot less than even the 750 kg limit of one of the stands.
You would have to modify them though as the neck is angled backwards slightly.
