(...geebus)

Spend a quarter mil -- win every concourse.
And a covered trailer. Don't forget picking up a covered trailer.

edit: the link notes a "history report" as part of the package.... which got my imagination percolating...

What "history" would there be to report on a virtually unused engine/drivetrain/suspension/interior/exterior?
Obviously, brake/clutch fluids would be changed out periodically. But what more is there?
And gas??? What's the gas change out method done every, what, every 3-4 months? (Add a fresh cup of juice, then run it dry? -- and repeat quarterly?)
Or, make that a cup of TruFuel, and make it a once a year event?
In those 120 miles, how often did the engine get up to temperature for condensate boil off? Ever? Or, was it run, drop the oil, and refill?
For that matter, has the oil bypass valve EVER opened? (i.e., is as-delivered oil still locked away in the oil cooler?)
The specifics are fascinating to me... from afar.
Good God --(this just occurred to me) you don't think this "time capsule" was still holding its as-delivered oil and brake fluids?! No way. Say it ain't so, Joe!

I’d consider that a bad investment. If I tossed $65k into the stock market back in the early 90’s and held it there for 30 years I’d be well past $200k!

Hopefully the next guy enjoys (Drives) it and takes great care of it too.

Somebody needs to get out and drive, Goodness Gracious! As a side note, my engine bay looks cleaner than that one and the clock has about 38k more miles than this example. But A/C may be colder with R12 than my headaches with R134. Will be watching.. Thanks for sharing.

@tarek307 has this one he’s listing on bring a trailer , wonder what this brings, thoughts? I tried to look at 1994C2 coupe comps on bat and didn’t see they’ve ever had one, I know the 93 autokennel just had sold for close to $95,000 in 1 day , will be interesting to see what this one does

That was Bogey1's car. It has a full engine build By Steve Kaspar of the defunct Imagine Auto done a while back. He was the go to guy back in the early 2000's. IIRC it is putting out about 500bhp or so. I have looked the car over and know most everything about it if you are interested. It is a lot cheaper than the one Ray has with sub 10k miles for over $400k although when I looked at this one last they were asking only $199k. Prices going up? Slate gray on the 3.6T is quite rare.

Does anyone know if they actually still have this car? TG rarely takes cars off its website, even long after they are sold.

Also, if anyone's interested, I am not far away and know Aret and would be glad to take a look.

I would bet they still have it. Shawn said it is his favorite car. Probably says that about them all. How close are you I can see the Marriott next to them from my back yard albeit a good 5 miles away as the crow flies.

I am 15-20 mins away....funny, I have never met Shawn but know Aret fairly well. We should get together for a drive sometime. I didn't know you were so close.

It's possible that's one of their cars that they've had forever. I know several of those....and I also know that most of the cars on their website are long gone.

They're actually buying the seller's reputation it says a lot the same thing as folks say Holt's cars are pricier than others but then again there's peace of mind behind it and less surprises.
