Oh I know. With everybody being on this whole turbo craze right now and such a short production run I don't see why they won't be over 100K in the next year or so. Especially with all these rich guys who know dick about cars trying to out do one another at televised auctions.

Like I said in another thread: These cars and the SyTy's would make for a good retro-mobile for GM to make. They're old enough to call classics and yet they were powerful and knocked down decent mpg's. Sounds like what we need now. These cars were ahead of their time. I think if Chevy were the ones to make them and not Buick, they would've stuck around a little longer.

A mint GNX with 9 miles and propper documentation will be over 100K 5 years ago, maybe $60K.

We don't know that for sure. This one hasn't been sold yet. I'm not doubting it, but it's all supply and demand. More and more of them are surfacing, supply goes up, price goes down. Well....maybe.

What something is worth = What someone is willing to pay for it.

No one knows for sure exactly what it is worth until it is sold.

Unfortunatley that's true! But the problem lies with people that see a Conv. Hemi 'Cuda sell for 2-3mil once and then they think, "Oh **** I could put a Hemi in my rusty old 'Cuda and sell it for at least $100K." People get caught up in this auction frenzy (rich guys trying to out do each other) and it drives the price through the roof for 99% of the population...i.e. the true enthusiest. I think if at least two cars like it sell for $X in different settings then it's worth it. 2 auctions do not count IMO. Too much ***** envy and little man syndrome going on there. Plus I think all the muscle car frenzy will level out once all the damned baby boomers die off.

Anyway, the car at hand is still a nice car and some rich guy will have fun paying someone to wipe it down with a diaper.

How can a low mileage car that was babied need to be repainted already? Is there a typo in that price?
