Stored for 40 years, only has 550 miles on it, and only sold at auction for 17,600 thou. Was it worth the effort to store it for such a low return after 4 decades of not enjoying it?


It still has air of 1977 in the tires. These pace cars were hard to sell new, and nothing has changed.

 A lot of dealers painted the cars all black or all silver to sell them when new.
