One in particular was the General Motors Intimidator Monte Carlo. It went up to $50K, down to around $30K, down to $20K, up to $30K and sold at $25K. When the high bidder bid $25K the bid then went to $30K. They kept trying to get the guy to bid more then $30K. When he wouldn't bid any more they dropped it back to $25K and sold it to him.
James </div></div> They spent way too much time on this car. It wasn't going to bring more than 25k but they spent another 5 minutes on it. And you couldn't drive it on the roads. </div></div> We were surprised that B-J thought it was a Saturday prime time worthy car. Not sure if was mentioned on the TV coverage or not but that car actually started out as a Grand Prix - not even a Monte Carlo. </div></div> I heard them mention that it started as a Grand Prix. I also heard someone say that GM had $800,000 invested in the car. James
