Yes - that is the one to have today. I will locate one. If I cannot get a nice original one I will restore one from the dead and give it new life. </div></div>

Jim Wangers is selling his (85-mile Anniversary).

Tenney, didn't that one sell at auction a while back? I thought Jim sold off a few of his cars, and I recall seeing that one on one the auction sites?

Here's a beautiful one for you guys. Sold for $72,500.

Recall he'd sold a few earlier too, Mike - though still has the '79.

I know Wangers really disliked his 1979 10th Anniversary Trans Am. He only kept it because it was given to him. He never drove it, and when giving interviews showing his collection, he would skip right over it. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/frown.gif[/img]

I just checked, and his 1979 10th Anniversary did indeed go through RM Auctions in June 2010, and sold for $52,800.

Of course, with the way auction shenanigans are, it wouldn't surprise me to learn that the car never actually sold.

Hmmm...well this must be another one of the many &quot;smoke and mirrors&quot; tricks these guys pull with auction houses to boost their portfolios. Like I said, doesn't surprise me. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]
