Hmmmm..."Location - Highland Park, IL". My guess is it is part of the Joe Bortz collection of Factory Show Cars. He doesn't very often put any up for sale.

Isn't Joe Bortz the guy that was outbid on the 3 mil Olds at Barrett-Jackson ? He should just offer the car to the guy that out bid him.

It is Bortz...

I don't want to get too picky here. Pretty neat car to be sure. Not something I would want even IF I could afford it. However, the following quote from the listing is somewhat curious.

"THIS IS ONE OF THE RAREST AMERICAN POST-WAR CONCEPT CARS TO EVER BE OFFERED."

Isn't virtually every concept car a one of one. How can this one be more "rare" than the others?

Again, not trying to pick the car apart. Just brushing up on my smart a$$ skills so I don't get rusty.

Keep in mind that they are trying to sell it. Sales pitches usually contain fluffed-up language in an attempt to maximize profit/emotional response/impulse bidding/etc.

I think that exact topic has been the subject of a heated discussion or two on this board http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
