Would like better pics and a start vid. I like the notchback, but not the 4 on the floor (I'm short) nor the aftermarket in dash tach.

Seems to have a well documented pedigree, though not as many suspension options as I would expect for the model.


What do you think the final bid will be?

 

I guess $160,000 on the Blue one. The stupid Tach and batwing steering wheel needs to go.

Also this one will be there .

 

That is Mike's car. I guess we will find out what a 1 of 15 stage vert is worth.

 

Top is damaged...

At least the blue one has a little more description than the black one.

 

The Blue one belonged to Mike Guarise,, and looks very nice, sloan documented and legit. The Black one? Who knows?

 

The blue one, I wonder if the red line on the tach has ever been reached (6,200)?

The black one's rear wing doesn't look like it's mounted
In the correct location.

 

I never knew the slope angle between a vert and hardtop were different.
I like the GSX wing but not on a vert.

 

Don't stop...it's a dud.

Mecum hasn't sent the VIN on the black one yet. Sometimes they try and make you register to bid before they give any extra info.

For so few, I've seen so many of these and most are scary (like this one).

 

That ad was from 2014...did Mike Guarise buy it for $45K?
