Interesting..a supercharged GN?

[Venus]

Supercharged? Auction Estimate of $100k-$125k?

Do these guys even read or screen any of these cars?

Just 100,000 wow what a deal.

Well shoot, there goes the price of used parts up 400%. If a whole car is worth $110k then a broken powermaster must be worth $2,500.

I've got a working powermaster for sale- only $2000. A smokin' deal!


The GN looks nice. The front seems to sit a little high as it appears to lean back a little to my eye.
I can't see $100k but some of those idiots at auctions (Barret, Mecum, etc.) will pay top dollar just because they can.

I don't fault the seller. Hell, maybe he gets it. Then what? Will there be a huge gathering of tb.com members at the next auction to sell their beloved Buicks for $100k as well?

I recently went to a Barrett-Jackson auction in Las Vegas and I can tell you all from experience that the cars are no where near as nice as they appear on TV. I was shocked at the quality of some of the cars that they ran threw. Especially the T-type that was rebadged as a GN and BJ had it listed in the catalog as a GN with the wrong VIN and all. Car did end up selling too for $15k to a phone bidder.

A turbocharger is an exhaust driven supercharger.
