    Something that is rather unusual. A Kappa Rolling Chassis (what underpins the Solstice and Sky) went for $17,600...

    Bargain? or not?

    @UDMan: I'd build a a custom body on that. Something lean. Something sporty. Something.....German.


    Sure, it has GM heritage, but they do own Saab and Opel, so using that logic, it seems very reasonable.


    I would build a BMW the likes of which BMW would be scared to build. And it would become the greatest car....IN THE WORLD



    Sure all the bits wouldn't work exactly right, and the windshield is at the wrong angle. No matter. Give ma chopsaw and lets get to work.

    @ampedpack: Yes it was, and here's the listing from BJ:

    This vehicle pioneered the advantages of "Active Suspension" and featured GTP Corvette race car technology. Built at the Bowling Green Plant, this vehicle was developed as a prototype for a limited edition run in the 1990 model year. THIS IS A CONCEPT VEHICLE. NEITHER GM NOR BARRETT-JACKSON MAKE ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, CONCERNING THE VEHICLE, INCLUDING NO WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

    So you won't be able to drive it after you bought it....

    Sorry for all the posting, but two of the most collectible cars in the collection went for what I think is bargain pricing:

    A 1960 Chevrolet Impala 4 Door Hardtop: $24,200



    A 1918 Cadillac Type 57 Victoria with a V-8, something I thought would go over $100,000 didn't: $35,200!

    One of the most interesting trucks went for an astounding amount: A 1925 Chevrolet House Car, built on a one ton Chevy Chassis, with only 35 Horsepower: $123,200!

    80% of these cars are shit. An '85 Calais? Saturns? If I were the auctioneer, I'd hit the people who bid on these cars with my gavel.
