Default 4 Door Vette on eBay

This car was on eBay in July.

Does anyone know what it sold for?

Looks like Leno owns the other one that is remaining.

Wrong! Wrong! Wrong!

Do ya spose they got a kit to convert that thing to a crew cab pickup? It would be great for an L.A. gardening company.

I may have mentioned that I own and show a vintage Mustang. At a show some years back a guy showed up with a convertible that was the front half of a 67 Mustang and the back half of a Lincoln Mark III. He did a nice job and all and you couldn't really tell where the Mustang stopped and the Lincoln began (at the back of the doors). I couldn't help myself, however, and asked him if he had another car that was the front half of a Mark III and the back half or a 67 Mustang. He was not amused.

I remember seeing them on the company's Pasadena showroom floor. Beautiful old Colorado Boulevard building, must have been a Packard or Auburn dealer in the '30s.

hey, perfect timing that this should come up for sale... these days with the popularity of all of these "4 door coupes" and "crossover" things i'm sure they'll have NOOOOO trouble getting $500K for it. in fact, maybe GM should come out with a ZR1 version to compete with the:

- mercedes benz 6.3 amg cls
- bmw m8 concept
- maserati quattroporte
- porsche panerama
- lamborghini estoque
- etc, etc, etc

At the asking price of 500,000.00???

This was posted on the Leno site about the Flea listing.

"A red one of these, also purportedly owned by Dorothy Mcguire, just sold at auction for $18,008 on ebay. Completely restored of course. Item # was 320269089741."

Well, I guess that answers the "What would you do if you owned two vettes and accidentally ran one into the back of the other" question...

So,

Leno website states "ONLY REMAINING 4 DOOR AMERICA PRODUCTION CORVETTE LEFT", while the other website states "only 2 are left. 1 is in Florida and this one is in Northern CA".



Wonder what the truth is?

Here's a '79 limo that was used in the '99 movie Mystery Men. When they beat the doors in in the movie they dented in. I alway wondered how that happened with fiberglass..... Obviously the limo had a stand in.

Oh, BTW here's a link to the articule with more pics and a little info on the limo:

I'd much rather drive that than a honda or toyota. Other than the B pillar sticking out it's not that bad.
