'Collectible' Opel worth $425,000??

Interesting footnote in automotive history, but this is priced like it can levitate. Note they show no pics of the interior (you can find them elsewhere on the net), because overall this car has all the physical appeal of a carnival ride. Still, it does command a good degree of mythicality.

From what can be seen it has a single red seat and a metal dash and I agree with PurdueGuy, while they might have a record with this auto, it does not mean it is worth that price.

Personally I would not even pay $500 let alone $50 for the ugly R&D auto. That is one best left in the history books as a learning exercise.

If someone is willing to pay that value, I am sure it will be worth it. I wouldn't pay anything for it, but I am not a collector.

It doesn't interest me physically much beyond the engineering. As a footnote of auto history, I could maybe see someone paying... maybe $25K.
