    The bidding so far is incredible to me.

    I actually expect it to bid to $15-18K. I also would not have believed that a few years ago.

    I was offered my friends very low mileage (under 5,000 miles) 78 GP a few years ago for $8,000.00. Very nice car, Chesterfield Brown with a tan bucket seat interior, rally wheels, Sport steering wheel, floor shift, no A/C car. 301 4bbl V8. about as quick a GP that was made that model year. And it was sloooooow. I just couldn't see spending that much for a car I wouldn't like driving. He ended up keeping it and replacing the 301 with a 455.

    This later car is more attractive body style, some would say the Chevy 305 is a better engine, I am not so sure. Easier to find parts for yes, better? The steering wheel is about my least favorite Pontiac Steering wheel.

    Interesting to see what it does bid to.

    The steering wheel was much better suited to the Pontiac 6000 than the GP.

    That "reserve not met" bid is shocking to me.
