Visade sig att den gamla risiga Pontiac Le Mans TEMPEST från 1963 utan motor å låda va värd lite deg efter allt..
Bilen som stått i ett garage i en evighet var en av totalt 6 st specialbyggda racebilar av Pontiac själva.
Budgivningen började på 500 $ (ca: 4k) och eftersom säljaren och folk kom på vad det var för en bil så slutade budgivningen på 226.000$ (ca: 1 800.000) :wacko:
Tydligen var Jay Leno en av budgivarna..
Vem kunde tro att denna bilen skulle gå att sälja för närmare 2 mille ?!?!?!?
Nuvarande bilar:
Civic Ek3 -96 Oldskool...
Luder BB6 -98 händer inte så mycket..
Civic Ep2 -04 Går snålare men skramlar mer
Civic FK2 -10 wa wa wee wa wa

Over the weekend, we caught wind of a very unique auction for a rusty and drivetrain-less 1963 Pontiac LeMans Tempest. From a modest starting bid of $500, a book-worthy story has sprouted in Harrison, Michigan.
The seller, 123ecklin, was aware that his car appeared to have some sort of racing history, thanks to its plexiglass windows, a racetrack dashboard plaque, and a non-standard suspension. But as the auction unfolded, it was revealed that his car is almost certainly one of just six 1963 Pontiac LeMans Tempest Super Duty Coupes built (there were an equal number of wagons), making it one of the rarest and most desirable muscle cars extant.
As the story goes, this car is believed to have been driven by racer Stan Antlocer, and it was one of the fastest drag racers of its era.
The most fascinating part of the whole story is arguably perusing of the addendums to the auction listing, which chronicle the “Eureka!” moment where the seller realized he owned not just another rusty muscle car, but a valuable piece of history.
At auction close, the Tempest had cleared a whopping $226,522, and Jay Leno was rumored to be taking part in the bidding. Somebody phone Tom Cotter already.
