I want to see it go through the Starbucks drive thru and get Venti's.
This is just wrong. A car like this shouldn't be on BaT, just saying.

In my garage. An auction site just seems awful, but it will go for stupid money for sure. I guess I've just had it with car auctions in general.
up to $300,000 with 2 days to go.@Toshi send the kids to clown college and sell your moped, this is the one.

I'll guess $280k.
Here's a couple of links I found in 10 seconds:
An Overview of Repurposed Electric Vehicle Batteries
iaeimagazine.org
Is Repurposing EV Batteries for Grid Energy Storage a Sustainable Plan?
How sustainable is is the plan to reuse and recycle electric vehicle (EV) batteries in their second-life cycle?
www.hivepower.tech
I couldn't (quickly) find the name, but there's a Quebec company at the vanguard of repurposing EV batteries into grid-scale energy storage solutions.
Also worth mentioning is that not all the cells in a battery die out at the same time. Savvy manufacturers and battery recyclers will rest each cell and re-use that that are still in good shape (though as I understand it, it's still a very expensive process).
I guess I am old school. 90% of these auctions go WAY over what something should go for. Then there is a crazy new precedent set.
Back home a buddy uncle owned Almeda's Classic Cars. It was a pretty small shop, maybe 30 cars there for sale. You could spend between $20k and $500k, but you very well knew what you were getting. He always had at least 3 I would love to have and he also had 3 of his personal cars there on display. But now you just have a dude with a dealers license catching cars on Facebook and flipping them on BaT.
So rather than me scoring a find, I go to BaT and get into a bidding war with 20 other douchebags and pay $30k for a project 64 Impala with no motor or trans and more rust than chrome.
<edit> or $22k for a '60 on eBay.

But this is where you're wrong... none of these auctions go over "what something should go for." They go for EXACTLY what they should go for.
When you are talking global scale, yes. Unfortunately my budget doesn't account for global scale, so I am SOL. Unless I get lucky and find one in a field myself.
Also "whatever someone is willing to pay" doesn't always equal what someone should pay.
LS swap can suck it!

A doctor buddy in AZ just picked up a C6, was previously driving a Z3. He's blown away at how fun and capable the C6 is comparatively. He thought they were just for 40 year + balding divorced males with ED.These have been selling for a lot less than han expected. If there is 1 C4 worth keeping, it's the ZR1.

Speaking of blown head gaskets. With some work they are bad ass, but gotta catch em before they blow.

Also, 4.88 gears suck with 35's, need 5.29's.

The 22RE didn't take the turbo well initially, that's why there is only one model year, I think. There are things like a metal head gasket and ARP bolts over torqued that have been said to "fix" it, but stock they go about 30k miles from what I recall.
My first Toyota was an '86 DX (22R carbureted) I bought after moving to Portland in '93. I looked at 2 turbos before I bought my DX and talked to a bunch of shops about them. Decided it wasn't worth the risk after finding out what you can do with the 22RE.

$12K. A bargain if I've ever seen one. A steal, if you will. Too good to be true.

from the one photo I see, it doesn’t look like the fire was started in the back. Rear wheel looks fine so there is a good possibility the engine and transaxle are good. There maybe some suspension and other stuff under the car that is fine. Though it all should be removed quick and the body scraped, rain plus burned cars pollutes a lot.View attachment 181655

I dunno, the engine bay looks pretty cooked to me. But that's your area of expertise.

That should buff out.
I sold the M on BaT.
As for where? Putting on miles at the track. That's where. Most tracks are 2-4 miles long. A good track day should be 30+ laps. Assuming that car has had a track only life, it's only had 4-7 track days in 2+yrs. Fuck that noise.
