I was expecting something around $5k... but I didn't expect $6k or above.. Now - it looks like the car with hit $6k...

One thing about that price (apart from olivier getting some nice cash there) is that if people pay that much for it they are most likely intending to restore it, I would hate to see the car parted out.

There's actually one local guy that looked already at the car that will bid on it before the auction ends. He has 2 1980 parts cars and can use all the mechanical parts off those cars.. After fixing up the Duntov - he can get rid of the 80' parts cars... So it should go at least to $5900.... however - I expect it to get above $6k now...

Well - there will still be other bidders in the list that might take the car if the buyer backs out...

Who Really Gives a S^&*t (54%, 12 votes) ????? WTF, this is a pretty lame thing and 12 people voted. Jeesh, real low bitching on someone who is trying to get the best out a disaster. How would you feel if you wrecked your vette?.

Re: 1980 Duntov Auction POLL (Twin_Turbo)

I'm sorry to see anybody's car get hit, let alone with a resulting negative financial consequence, and please forgive my ignorance, but isn't a "Duntov" basically just some aftermarket bodywork? Sorry, but the uniqueness must be over my head.

Duntovs were a small series of cars that could be ordered through Chevy dealers even though Chevy didn't do the conversion.. The conversion was done by American Custom Industries... It's a similar series like the Greenwood Corvettes with the main difference that much fewer Duntov's were produced... Furthermore... the body wasn't modified... it was replaced with a completely different body... All body panels were much higher quality than the regular GM body panels...

It's sad.. Luckily - it looks like the car will be fixed up again to former glory... Several of the people that contacted me about the car are thinking in fixing the car up...

Kinda sounds like someone might acquire it to repair it. This is a good thing. Looks like you'll get your money's worth out of it also. And this is another good thing. :cheers:
