Unhappy Blackhawk for sale?

GM is having a corporate garage sale, and many cars from its corporate museum in Warren, MI will be on the auction block at Barrett-Jackson in January. One of those listed in the Blackhawk; a modern day 2+2 automatic hardtop coupe with a fuel injected 455 done with a lot of help and parts from TA Performance. Not to mention an interior largely from the last generation Riviera. A stunning, museum-quality one-off styling exercise based on Buicks of the late 30's and early 40's, mixed with the power of the 70's, mixed with today's technology and interiors. Well...90's interiors. But clearly of little value for GM in its current economic state.

Thumbs up Re: Blackhawk for sale?

Brought a pretty healthy sum... $475,000. Wonder if this particular auction was televised. Anyone see it?

(Note that the higher figure includes bidders fees, etc.)

Wonder who picked it up? Glad to see it brought a good price. That shows the market has faith in some things that GM has created. And a powerful RWD buick coupe is definitely among them.
