Wow, just saw a 35th sell for $200,000 on BJ. Of course it was a fundraiser for the American Heart Association but still nice to see a C4 with some recognition as a special car. I knew there was a reason I bought mine....

Then the lady that bought it gave it back to them and it sold for another $100 K. Great fundraiser.

Anybody else notice the curvy "sold" gal?

Camera always seems to keep her in the frame as she leans over to mark the price!

I'm sure Chris Jacobs selfie was inspired by our curiosity on social media.

"Sold Girl" is getting a lot more attention than the C4 price....deservedly so.

Too bad it wasn't a 76 Pinto....would have sold for much more; or a 79 VW! Would have brought more funding to the AHA.....
