4940, mmm lots of VR4 Spyders
Posted by Dualgen2, Mar-08-06 07:39 AM
Although the auction is over look at the main pic. This guy has at least 6 VR4 Spyder. One guy on 3si knows him. Not only are these super rare 3000GT's but rare in general. So jealous.

WOW thats basically over 100K in 3000GT's right there. Those VR4 Spiders are so freakin rare and expensive. I've only actually seen 1 in real life.

Saw a couple at our east coast gathering last year. The way the top goes up and down is awesome. 2nd hard top conv. ever made. 1st was the ford skyline, back in 60's I believe. They cost around $55000 new and dealers were selling them for $65000+. That's A LOT of $ now and even more back in 1995. Even higher mileage spyders go for around 30 and we have a guy on 3si w/ one for sale for 45,000 or so w/ 14K. That's probably over 200K in Spyders right there.

No idea why they were bought back but they cost to much $ new for what they are. That markup price is close to what people pay now for a new 06 Range Rover.
PICS of the top open......

no its not the 2nd convertable hard top ever made. Just by the way you said it the corvette, S2K, Jaguars, MG's, and triumphs make your statement wrong. Its not the 2nd motorized hardtop convetable either.
