Jazz Auctioned at Barrett-Jackson

If I had the cash and a Tony Stark garage, I'd buy it.

Most factory modified cars are not legal for street use. I have never looked into details why.

Lame. I was watching the coverage most of the week, And they seemed to make a habit of cutting to commercials as soon as the specific Camaro or Vette I wanted to see crossed the auction block.

Aside from that, the rest of the auction was very entertaining.

I heard that on a lot of the bots they were driven from the back seet or something, so it would look like nobody was in it while it was moving.

I knew that was him. No one believed me when i said it. I was watching the news last week and they had some one there showing the pope car and their was Jazz in the background.

Now that gives me a great idea...turn the Popemobile into a Transformer! That would rock...in a humble, forgiving, papal kind of way

looks cool not 1 of my fave cars but id like it

You HAD one?
What possessed you either financially or mentally to get rid of it?

More importantly, how does installing seatbelts ruin a car?

As some folks have said, it may be exhaust mods. I'm betting that the more likely candidate is changes to the frame/chassis, front end, and doors that impacted it's crash-worthiness. You could probably change the exaust back over to something closer to spec to get it to pass state and federal emmissions. But it's hard to put structural support back into a one-of-a-kind and have it pass... unless you're willing to crash it several times first.

I suspect if you opened the doors or looked under the hood, it would look considerably different than a factory Solstace.

With as little screen time as Jazz saw, what mods would they have done, except the wheels and spoiler? Did they remove the engine to make it more filmable? Less than 20G is just wrong. I would buy 2 at that price. It makes me ill thinking a nobody non-tfan is driving Jazz.
