I think this car has been on eBay a couple of times in the last 3 or 4 months.

Something just doesn't look right about that interior. From my 1980s memory, this was the interior originally used in the Avalanche:

Yeah Vanilla Ice did own one of these. I believe he paid close to $1 million for it or some astronomical dollar figure. The stereo was like 3000W or something ridiculous and also had CD player in it which at the time was like sticking a plasma TV in a car. I was under the impession that only 3 of these were made. I know a black one exists.

What ever happened to the purported 930 slantnose cabrio you were looking at anyways ?

I think that may be the same car I'm thinking about. The guy wants to sell it but i have not recieved the pics of it yet. Soudns hte same though. The 930 Slantnose is a DP conversion and needs aot of work. I'm still thinking wether or not the car is worth restoring and if it's cost effective.

I buy alot of nice cars and sell them after about a month or so. it's a fun hobby I have.
