I'd love to pull into a cruise-in or show with this!
WoW KJ, great find, and only 2600 miles...
Yes, it would get attention, wherever it goes : )
Thanks for sharing....I wonder what the high bid will be ?

I'll be watching the bidding for sure. This is one car I would buy even if its overpriced if I had deep pockets.

I have deep pockets, but there's nothing in them...
It's a great Monte, but it's 2 nice to use as a daily driver : (
+ you would have to have a garage (w/heat & a/c: ), plus you would have to hire a guard when you were away from it...It's going to be interesting to see what it goes for, `if they don't have a reserve....
Maybe play the Lotto & Pray 2 the Lotto Gods

Wow. That picture brings back memories. That "Deep Pockets" is actually a slot machine. We used to have them at the casino I work at.

I would love to buy that pace car. Kinda wish I had the money to buy it.

I wonder if that was the same car that was sold at Barrett Jackson in Scottsdale? I wonder if the buyer bought it to flip it.

I've seen a couple of these now, there was also one made up for Texas Motor Speedway, I think?

That thing is flippin' sweet! Its all done right! $10,000 seems good to me, but the reserve isn't even met and who knows how high it will go. I didn't like the roof spoiler until I saw the strobes, which totally make it worth it. But I'd miss the trunk space too - seems horribly inefficient. Hopefully it is purchased by somebody passionate who joins The Forum. Would love to see more of that one...

Not too unreasonable for an almost brand new car. I wonder if it's been modified for track use?

I just assumed that the pace cars were mechanically just a stock car. But you know what they say about assuming. I'm kinda curious if they did any mechanical improvements too.
