    I'm sorry, but I don't see the point of owning a car that can't be driven lest the parking brake cable gets dirty.

    If you want a museum piece, buy a Picasso!

    This is the same color combo as the 67GTO I am in process of restoring. High Performance Pontiac did a big article on this one of these last summer. Car sounded really rough when they started. So much for never getting rid of it. If you ever read Jim Wangers book it talks alot about this promotion. Very rare (only 2 that I know of that are still around), but $850,000 is a bit high.

    Tony, take a look at the bottom of the engine cradle and tell me what you think. Im no Pontiac expert, but it looks like they spliced in a piece and welded it in. Why wouldnt they grind the welds down and smooth it out?? Looks like crap compared to the rest of the car. Is that the way a Pontiac frame is suopposed to be? Strange

    That cradle sure looks like it was bashed in at one time and crudely repaired. Anyone else notice that it's NOM. The block numbers don't match the VIN?

    No wheels and a seat with a Picasso...but wait!! You could put rails and a rope on a Picasso and use it as a sled!

    Why would you want a Picasso? It doesn't have a motor...:Brow:

    This guy is fishing. He has a couple other cars (the Banshee concept car and a 69 Trans Am, I believe) with astronomical prices.

    The cradle bottom does not look right, and is crude either way compared to the rest of the car. My 66's and the 67 aren't like that in that area. If I remember right from the article, the car sat for a long time after one of the owners tossed the motor. This is a correct ws coded ho motor, but not the original for the car. I have to look around for the article to be sure.

    I think one of these cars went thru the sale at Kissimee in Jan. I can check results but it was no where near 850 k

    That is what I recall. Just not sure it sold and was a real buyer. I would say that is about what it was worth .. But what do I know :Do No:

    That car has been on ebay within the past yr as well, not by the current lister. The lister of this car is Napoli, there is Napoli indoor classic car gallery in Milford CT. Within the past 3 wks they have had 3 cars on ebay including this one.

    Back in 96 the owned a 69 Green Judge sold it around then, bought is back a couple of yrs ago, then that car has been flipped multiple times since by different classic car dealors

    Look like you need your past three years of W-4's and a letter from your bank just to walk in there. Are those the prices or the telephone numbers? :spank:
