The University of Pittsburgh 1969 Trans Am car is for sale for 180k fully restored and ready to go... I would think that would be a better deal unless this car has a bunch of excellent history. Still , it is a very cool car and worth the money. If the guy spent 110k on it you would have to believe he will restore it an run it .. look forward to seeing that one at Monterey sometime.

That UoP car has a ton more history behind it than this car,wasn't Penske & Donohue involved with it?What doesn't figure is why this car wasn't raced until '70...according to the ad....but now here's a little insite into this sale:
I spoke to two of my sources today and both confirmed the same story,this car was purchased less than 2 weeks ago in Sacramento for...are you all sitting down(?)...$20,000.The main buyer had to borrow 1/2 the purchase price under the condition that they'd split the profit.
I'd say $45K profit in less than 2 weeks on a $10K initial investment was a pretty wise decision!
One of my friends went and saw the car this weekend and said those eBay pictures actually did the car justice.Still...what a buy,what a freaking buy.
Just goes to show guys...they're still out there.
