Prototype Car

I found this on Ebay and thought it was kinda interesting. Its an '87 Formula... Supposedly GM had contracted Auto-Fab of Auburn Hills (?) to build four of these cars. It came with the 5.7L and just about all options including what looked like leather Recaro GTA seats and a CD player. The company that was auctioning the car is called Kruse international. They claimed that this is the only one left in existence.

The notchback hatch is almost as ugly as the guy in that picture. I can't believe it was ever even a factory option... who the hell wants to pay a Grand more for that. I do like the wheel flares though - reminiscent of the old 2nd gen TAs.
