Just been going through ebay looking at US Spec cars, considering there V8's they don't seem to fetch a lot money, like the V8 75/ZT does.

Big fan of American classics and Pontiac are one of my favourite manufactures.

Would love to put a bid on it.

You would have to be a big status quo fan for the red one though

I think they are rare (or unpopular), expensive to run and might be tricky if you run into problems maintance wise. US cars from that period are a bit of an acquired taste so they have a limited market, personally I don't think they are at classic level yet.

There pretty numerous in the states, but not many here at all, due to the exportation rates no less.

I think the cars from the 60's and 70's era fetch a lot more money, the 1967 Ford Mustang, saw one fetch at least £10000 plus, Also the same spec Pontiac fire bird trans arm that was used in Knight Rider.

Other one as well is the AMX, very popular for motorsport racing, fast in a straight line, handling not too bad but could benefit with British steering.

Very few US muscle cars are as rare as the ZT/75 V8s, only 883 made in total.
