Its a nice car, but you couldn'tenjoy it. That car is for a collector that enjjoys making money rather than owning and playing with one of the most interestig cars ever made.

It should end up in the $40k range. Maybe a little more if 2 bidders or more get crazy.

I'm glad they got that much.... makes my heap worth more....but IMHO... that car is as useless as tits on a boar hog..... If you can't drive it.... why bother..... driving one of these cars is where the real enjoyment is..... by a picaso if you want to look at something.... these cars are meant to be driven....

Cool Car

Clearly, the value in that car is in the super low miles and pre-prep condition complete with interior plastic wraps.

yes, it's a shame the car can't really be driven in true TR fashion, but damn, that's one sweet car.

You better believe I saved a picture of that engine compartment. One day we'll be glad to have such a perfect reference guide for our restorations!

That GN will make a fine addition to any great Musclecar collection..

Yea, they're meant to be driven, but there isn't a whole lot left, thanks to people parting them out, and chopping the bodies like they're going out of style. Like they're some sort of skyhawk, or century. That car should be preserved and honored, not beat down in the daily driver role. There's plenty of crap condition turbo regals out there to do that to.
