    I really love that Yenko Camaro and the color as well as the Boss 429. The Shelby GT-500 has an automatic transmission...no thanks...

    I like the Superbird. and no buyers premium....found a bit more info about the seizure..dont know if all is correct though...
    "From 2006 to 2012, the company had revenue of more than $200 million from the testing of blood and related services, providing David Nicoll with distributions of more than $33 million, the complaint said. He spent more than $5 million on collectible automobiles, including $580,000 for a Yenko Nova and $360,000 for a Yenko Chevelle, $300,000 for a Ferrari, and $291,000 for a Corvette. He also spent more than $700,000 to buy a Manhattan apartment for a female companion, $600,000 on private jet charters, $392,000 on tickets to sporting events, $216,000 at electronics stores, and $154,000 at a gentleman’s club/restaurant, the complaint said"

    When it comes to classics I'm normally a GM fan but that 429 is honey!

    Amazing how much the Superbirds have come down in price recently.

    I don't know the market on any of them but I have total confidence in the governments ability to lose money on any transaction. Remember, they couldn't run a whore house without losing money?

    Yes. Can't find a link to it but a few have run into trouble for taxes etc.

    The stories of their business acumen in running seized businesses would be funny if it didn't cost us so much.

    They are truly too stupid to run anything profitably.
