$12,500 was an obscene amount of money to pay for a car in 1972, The surgeon who did my back brought one over 10 years ago and paid a million then. He recently opened a museum with his collection open to the public. The collector car market is extremely strong for DOCUMENTED pedigree cars. Back then muscle cars were not marketed and sold as collector cars like GNX. People that brought them had one thing in mind and that was to beat the hell out of them, a lot of GNX buyers pampered them and put the car away thinking it would be a great investment. The ones who did drive them either had them stolen or wrecked them....Seriously, How long does it take to steal a Turbo Buick from a parking lot…. An amateur car thief could be gone in under 3 minutes...
