Pontiac Fiero PPG Pace Car

My co-worker is huge into Fieros. He just bought, 2 months ago, an 86 or 87 Pontiac PPG Pace Car. There were only 6 built and only one sold to the public, which is the one my buddy just bought. He bought it last year and is the first public owner. The car was donated to a school to use in an automotive class. Otherwise, the other 5 are in the GM warehouse. -----Jeremy

#3. An old acquaintance had one stolen from him, its just stripped down to nothing now...

1983 Corvette

I just visited the corvette plant last week and I heard some of the plant's older workers talking about older cars and they said that the 83 vette was scraped except for one car that was actually saved by a plant employee. The hid the car in one of the plant's back lots and I think the car is probably in the vette mueseum now.

The Govt. did some methanol testing back in the mid-late 80's, They orderd 5 of this same car. It has no options... 60/40, column shift etc etc kinda car. However you CAN tell these cars apart from all other t-types and gn's. These cars have BIG 3/4" Goodyear blue fuel lines, nickel plated (on the inside) fuel rails, and a HUGE 30 gallon stainless steel gas tank. They were all blue w/ stainless trim.

Last time i was at the museum that 83 vette was on display--it is a white c4 body that IS titled as a 83.

Enzo

I saw a Ferrari Enzo a few months back. I couldn't believe it, especially since I am in Canada. I didn't think any would make it here.

I saw the first hemi Cuda ever made the other weekend at the Auburn auction. The car wasn't in very good shape but it was all original. I think it had like 7x,xxx miles on it. The bidding went up to $280k but was turned down if I remember right. I got some pictures that I might upload in a little bit.
