Apparently this was a factory build.

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go throw on some Deftones and frost the tips of my hair.

Hold on tight.  The BAT bros are about to bring the stupid.  Most likely anyway.

I predict $70k

Junk title status is disappointing to say the least.

It is, but I'd bet a dollar you could find some state willing to title it.

When a concept/experimental/test car etc makes its way to the general public they flag the title as junk to limit their liability.

The personalized plate should read BALLZ 1.

Yeah sorry this is awful and it's going to go for way more than any untitled fourth gen is worth. If I had FU money and wanted to buy a ridiculous f boy it would be one of those fake Pontiac Gen 6 Camaros that someone did up to look like a Trans Am. If you're going to be a dumbass, be the king of the dumbasses.

Oh my

god! 
 

I sort of want it in an ironic kind of way. Let me dust of the jnco jeans and the puka shells. Could a car be anymore late 90s?!

I appreciate the significance and history of the car, being a Pontiac nut myself, but I'd much rather just get a clean 98-02 car and mod it on my own. Not digging the gold paint, the polished Torq Thrusts, or that branded/junk title. This belongs in a museum.

It would be neat if the new owner loaned it to the Pontiac-Oakland museum.  https://www.pontiacoaklandmuseum.org
