Good. Helps raise the value of cars like mine that have low intrinsic value.

It's the European version, where they drive on the wrong side

Somehow the pic is reversed. Look at the PONTIAC letters on the headlight.....they're on the wrong side, too, and backwards

Strong money for that car. I’d like to think it’s a sign of third gens values moving up, but no.

Re: 83 trans am goes for $6050 at mecum

The seller did well. Nice enough car, but that's a lot.

Those 85-mph speedometers always kind of make me laugh. Of course, the Iron Duke base model might have had trouble getting there. And that five-digit odometer. Maybe it's really 199,000 miles! Hmmm.

It’s probably just right amount of solid to make a KITT clone out of
