:shock: And there was me thinking you could pick up an "official" car for only $75k. Do you mean to say cars in this price bracket are not "official"? What if they were used for promo work or included on a DVD featurette? :P

It's official, surely, but it can hardly be considered as a car anymore. More like an expensive paperweight.

True, the car will probably never be driven and will just sit in a museum or private collection for years, but even if you wanted to drive it you cant because (according to the auction site) the electrical systems to the lights were removed for some unknown reasons during its "conversion", so it isn't even road legal :?

So yeah, just a big half-a-million dollar paperweight with a flux capacitor in it :lol:
