Isn't this like the auction for the F- 85(?) prototype / concept car that was sold 3 yrs ago? I mean the "mules" don't have a VIN # that you can use on a title for street use registration, right? I thought that GM never allows any one person to buy/have those cars? Or am I confused as usual?

I have another Q.... Is this out of the GM warehouse where they keep all the cars like the stuff that they sent to Carlisle in 07 at our tent area?

He doesn't appear to have much interest in Corvettes older than the C5.

I wish they sent us this Snake Skinner for Carlisle(almost as exciting as the 12cyl)....

I totally agree with you about GM's selling cars they said they would NEVER sell or could sell due to being "Mules". But then again, GM has troubled times and maybe thinking of selling for extra cashola.

Yes, it really seems unfortunate if they have to sell off their history to pay the bills. I think it's fortunate with Corvette that there is a place (for now anyway) where that stuff can go to be preserved.

However, what about other brands? I recall seeing GM sell off their Oldsmobile Aurora GTS-1 car at auction a couple years ago and thinking how sad that was. It's certainly a piece of history in spite of the brand's ultimate demise, and now who will ever see it? I saw it in GM's lobby at the RenCen. What other pieces of GM's history will disappear or be locked up in some dude's garage simply because it's not currently "interesting"?

What are your predictions for the sale price.....if it sells for 25K I am going to be sick I didn't buy it.......I am guessing 125K or more....but not sure why they are selling on a slow day.
