When a car sits in the Jalopnik Fantasy Garage, and it has a 3-digit odometer reading at age 22¡* well, you figure the price might be pretty steep. But this steep?


We were a little startled to find that 64% of voters felt the low-mile 2001 Mexi-Beetle was overpriced at $10,900, but perhaps our more interested in Barrett-Jackson-grade stuff. So be it! This GNX looks just about perfect, though there''s no description other than a bunch of lo-res photographs. If it''s all legit and the numbers are real, it''s going to be a priceless worship object to millions of car freaks; after all, this is one of GM''s all-time great musclecars, with astounding performance for its time. But is 145 grand totally out of line? You decide!

 

Absolutely! The prices of many of the cars you see in these auctions end up going for prices driven more by the heat of the moment in an atmosphere where money is no object when it comes to going home with what you want. While the car may only be worth $50k,bragging rights have been and always will be priceless. The inherent value of the car does not change, and that is no shot against the car, but it''s history gets richer- even if the new owner is $145k poorer![img]smileys/smiley29.gif[/img]
