If you're one of those people who thing electric cars are gonna takeover, I can see internal combustion becoming the new VHS. Then, prices would be *really* cheap!

If electric takes over all that's going to happen is the cheap poo poo nobody cares about (i.e. all the millions of CUVs) are going to stay cheap and the stuff that's already expensive (Miatas etc) are going to shoot even more vertically upward in value.

Internal combustion is jumping right into "vinyl sounds better maaaaan" mixed in with the aesthetic idolization of cassette tape.

I believe they got the jump on their value bottoming out due to the pandemic. I was seeing C5 z06's under $20k before Covid and now not so much.

I've always liked C5s. Aesthetically my favourite modern gen other than the current. Too bad about the 1993 Grand Am interiors, but I could probably live with that.

I thought my C5 looked really nice once I put C6 wheels on it. But yeah that interior is beyond help.

Yeah it's pretty bad how much of a C5s interior would look right at home in my 1994 cavalier, was a big problem for GM that I'm not sure they ever solved since I haven't actually ridden in a newer one any time recently

I'd say they've slightly broadened the range, but they've noticeably raised the bottom of it.

C6 interior wasn't great either, but it's been stepped up considerably for the 7 and 8. Wouldn't be embarrassed to give somebody a ride in either. :getin:

Probably lunched a critical part like a transmission or something and from the paintball splatters it appears it's been used as a training obstacle on a range. The interior will have been destroyed by that and coupled with an unidentified catastrophic mechanical failure that offlined it you're straight up gambling by bidding on this thing.

102,000 miles in 6 years or less, exterior spots and fittings, government surplus - it was a cop car of some variety. Maybe Fish and Wildlife or Interior or something else outdoorsy.

It undoubtedly had a hard life and was thrashed to death. Something major failed and it was cheaper to dump it than fix it.

C5 looks like a giant FD RX7. 3D scan an FD dash and size it up to fit in a C5. Bonus points for putting on a FD style front bumper. Rotary engine Rob Dahm style is optional.

Makes sense. I remember reading when the Elise first came out they were building them around Celica chassis. I wanted one so bad when they came out.

Yep, absolutely a cop ride, the city standardized on them a while back and a lot of the other regional departments seem to have followed suit.

Ah yeah I was thinking it got caught up in some protest action but training makes more sense. The ones that got hosed up on the street are probably still tied up as evidence. Or just got fixed up and are back in use.
