Greetings,
Normally don't keep track of non-GNX vehicles but this and the other early ones with a turbo are still of interest to some of us.
Though the "1 of 16" and "1 of 25" production figure claims have been circulating for years, there is no confirmation of that compared with those made with the 4.1 NA engine (the majority). Still, this is the "car that started it all," so to speak. Given that, you'd think it would have a bigger following, but the numbers don't bear that out unfortunately.
There is quite a long history to this particular car: It was listed and bid to $15,000 ending 1/03 out of Florida. It then went to Niles, Illinois and listed again on 8/2004 for $13,600. Relisted it ending 9/2004 with a starting bid of $16,250 (no reserve) out of Andover, Massachusetts with 65,352 miles. Subsequent relist with lowered start of $15,950 yielded no bids either (same month). Ran twice in 2007, first ending 2/26/07 for $12,500 top bid (Reserve Not Met) and subsequently ending 3/12/07 where it only reached $11,100.00 (not met again).
Given all the above, I would peg this car at $15,000 MAX, based on prior performance. I personally think it should bring more money (and might someday), but the market has been yawning on this car since 2003.
I can give you more detail if needed-- just PM me.
Hope this helps,
Doug
