I was about to say why is it in Neutral, like every other car that hasn't had the shifter adjusted so it starts, and then they pushed it away using the most flexible areas. Good work.

WoW! Not sure where to start with this one. My first thought is that I hope all the ships rise with the tide  :-D
Then, How can someone buy a car and not drive it  :shock:
Seeing some stupid prices that some resto mods get, broncos and etc., its about time a Trans Am hits a high water mark.

I don't get it, maybe the new owner has too much money.

If it just sits in your garage, you might as well have a holographic image of the car.

My thoughts exactly Wallington.  14 miles with a cracked left rear spoiler tip along with spider cracks on the rear bumper.

If I had just won the billion dollar lotter, I could see myself buying this car for 400k. But as my son and I were discussing, it is a piece of static art at this point. One would be crazy to drive it. Of course I would have to have one I can drive and this one in a glass bubble to look at!

Also, how does it ONLY have 14 miles. I would like to hear the back story. Did a dealer keep it? Was it delivered on a rollback? Heck a test drive or running to get gas would put more than 14 miles in my area! Quite an incredible time capsule, and a good study guide to see how they came off the line.

Totally absurd. It's no wonder we can't afford to fix our cars. These prices have made it impossible for the common man, to get near these things. I'm happy for the members here, that have these cars. Just makes your investment more justified.

They did call it "Rolling Art" but it is beautiful and worthless for most unless you have a living room large enough to display the artwork.
