It was also noted that they were thinking about scrapping it at one time.

From reading the ad,

It is an incredible story.

As a Pontiac guy myself, this is one of the rarest cars you can find.

Looks like there are still a couple out there, who knows what is still out there.

I found the story on the NASA forums when the bidding was at 80,000.
