Saw this on CNN:

This year, Barrett-Jackson, the company that sold that golden Oldsmobile F88 concept car, has five 1950s and early '60s concept vehicles up for auction at its annual Scottsdale event. The Barrett-Jackson auctions begin today and will run through Sunday, Jan. 22.

One of them is:
The Pontiac Banshee prototype, which never made it to production -- GM executives didn't want it competing with the Chevrolet Corvette, according to Barrett-Jackson -- closely presaged the design of later Corvettes.

Would be fun to own.

That was one of the problems in GM. Well it's still a problem: You cannot let other makes interfere with anything produced by chebby. It happened in the divisions too. You couldn't let anything interfer with the goat.

Just got home, and didn't catch the Banshee...

But I just caught the Big GM Futureliner, it went for 4 Million 100K! WOW!

I'm sure they will post the results soon.. if they haven't already? Man, there is still some serious money out there...

Brett!

Sold just now for $195,000! I was expecting more too!

the banshee only brought 195 k.somebody got a deal

I cannot believe the car went for only that much. Someone will make alot of money off that car in the future. I was thinking my 600K estimate was going to be way low.

And it was bought by someone off the internet.

Hmmm? I wonder if Tom has been stashing away his money for just such an opportunity? I mean he does go by Banshee after all?

How kool would that be if it actually was some one we knew?

Brett!

i can tell you that i was not the buyer.but if i had 195 k,i would have bought it

$195k was WAY too low, i would have guessed closer to $500-600k

I was shocked!

Looking at the photos showed signs of wear and some good rust even though it was mostly fiberglass.
