    I was suprised it met reserve.

    Yes, looking at the comments the seller lifted the reserve a few hours before the auction ended.

    Interesting. I hadn't read them after the 1st day or two. Also suprised it didn't go for more.

    It's unfortunate for the seller that super low mileage examples seem to pop up fairly regular. I'll probably get flamed, but its a lot of coin for 270hp...

    I don't think the HP has much to do with the value, but on the other hand, the anemic offerings in the 80's by the other GM Gbody builders puts things in perspective. I guess it's all relative. As mentioned, even though they are bringing bucks, it was still a poor investment.

    The car would trap 105 when it was new. I wouldn't say that's slow for the factory rated output #.

    I've been in a pile of turbo cars and I know what they can do, and I know how they compared to the rest of the class of '87.

    In the new hellcat/gt500/ZL1 world, 700 hp is the new norm, and those guys are usually the ones who trade low mileage GNX type cars around. Thats a pretty big shadow to be under. just my .02..

    BUQUICK I'm your huckleberry.

    I thought the GNX was rated at 300 hp?



    Wow, you are right, this guy doesn't mess around! He bought another car today for $325k bringing his total to six cars in 2023:

    ...and chances are not a one of them will see a wide open two lane blacktop. Must be nice though. Here I am debating between store brand corn or Green Giant brand. I can't comprehend spending over a two and a half mil on cars in a lifetime, let alone one year. Capitalism works, I just chose the wrong occupation. Good for them.

    Money can buy material objects and luxury but it doesn’t buy true happiness and contentment.

    That's just the stuff on BAT. My guess is someone like that probably is active all over. Impressive.

    When someone Not a dealer starts making those kind of purchases all of a sudden, you wonder if they got some kind of settlement.
