i dont really like the 1g body styles but this one is sick!!!!

 

[3kgt2nv]

the 1 of 1 indy pace car 3000gt was recently sold at private auction for around 12k i think.

it was made by mitsubishi/dodge to be the pace car but the racing league threw a fit it wasnt an american built car so it sat in storage for 19 years before being sold

the racing history had them orginally asking 20k. i think there was only one bid at the auction as the number of non specialty production cars was so high it isnt considered a rare car. prob same thing going on with the fitapaldi talon.

Indypacecars.com - 1991 pace car, Dodge Viper

on a side note that is kind of cool this years 3000gt national gathering is being held at indy and the promoters have gotten permission to do one lap at indy speed way in honor of the stealth not being allowed to run the pace lap.

going to be pretty cool tosee almost 200 3000gts doing a lap at indy in its honor. it will be awsome if the stealth car comes out


with 1 of 1 cars its hard to sell them because the only way to price the rarity is by previous sales of the same car. since the car has been kept kind of secret and tucked away it has actually decreased its own worth. if he had been showing the car at car shows and at car events and what not he would have an easier time since people would be more aware of the car

I can't beleave after 6 years this thread is still going... .

I say if it's still for sale that we all put in a $1.00 and raffle it off. Ludacris can hold all the money and once it's bought and delivered the winner gets it on an agreement that he/she doesn't do anything to it. Sounds good to me.

Haha that'd take alot of people

The Fittipaldi Talon has found a new home

 

[DevilSperm]

It will be wrapped around a tree in no time Im sure...

 

[ClassicCar]

Hitting a tree would make me sad. I will be restoring the car.

 

[agarc023]

Will you be taking that damn fuse holder thing on the firewall?

 

[98GSXtacy]

Congrats on the purchase man. How much did you pick it up for? If you don't mind me asking.

 

[burkgonzo]

Please for the love of sake...TAKE CARE OF THAT CAR!!!!

Also, congrats on getting it.

 

[ClassicCar]

YES I will be removing the fuse from the firewall, and the speaker in the hatchback area. I will make sure to get all the wiring back to original. Checking it all out right now.

^^^ lucky duck. Sounds like you appreciate how collectible the car is. It's good to know that it's in competent hands.

 

[94_TSi]

Wow the car went to Indy, when and where can I see it in person? I was litterally just showing a buddy this car 2 days ago on here.

 

[ClassicCar]

Engine and turbo are being checked out right now. Valve cover gasket is leaking and being replaced. Back to my shop after that for restoration of the interior. Fittipaldi had the interior "blacked out" and a complete black interior was not available so some of the interior parts were painted black and need to be redone. Some minor issues with the seats will be fixed as well. Some exterior parts need attention as well. I hope to have all finished by May.
