What would you pay for this car
Metally pick the maximum price you would pay for this car
Then go to the ebay website and see what it sold for.

How did you do?

I would have bid less than the starting bid. The description provided is unflattering.

"Yeahhhhh. It's not worth that much. Not by a long shot."
considering the rarity of the car, and the story behind the lightweight superduty pontiacs, its worth it

Lol. I didn't read the extra info on it. One of six ever made. Maybe it's worth it.
But it's faaaar from pristine. After someone restores it, I wonder how much of the original car will be left... Of course, ideally, I'd have it restored using the period correct parts.

Mate, there is rare stuff and there is quality rare stuff. This is just a piece of junk. Did you read the bit in the description which said it has no motor or transmission? It's not even a car anymore! Like Heil said, restoration would be more of a reconstruction.

^Yeah, the odometer statistic is only relevant when there is an engine to refer it to!

The the additional article says that the special six cars had aluminum front fenders. Did you note the visible rust on the front fenders of our ebay special.
As far as lightweight, for an American car for its time it was. 3300 lbs.
If your buying history, you are missing the important part with this car.

Well apparently it is one of the true six cars. The front end was taken off and stored long ago, who knows why. I dont think the front end was included in the auction.
