Pretty Cool. Great piece of history.
Bernstein had 3 of these for 1987, 2 of which have been for sale within the last year.
The other one I saw was a bit faded from sitting outside it looked like. I'm pretty sure this one was hanging on a wall in KBs shop for the last several years.

Looks like they've got the '84, '85, and '86 bodies as well. Too bad they don't have the running chassis for each body.

didn't one of those bodies get burned up at Maple Grove in '87?

Sounds like you can't use it for anything besides a display or cackle piece ...but it would be nice to own...

Rick- Yup, Maple Grove 87 lost one of them. And then the other 2 have both been for sale recently. I don't know of any more of those bodies around.

Paying that much for it and you aren't allowed to use it in competition? I'd use it as a CIFCA body...lol

It's a cool piece...but it's just as ugly as it was in '87. Plus, no one really believed it was a 'Buick'. I suppose he could have put 'GS 455' on each side of the blower scoop...

Probably bring $500K there.
I think thats the point haha, this body isn't being sold as cast off race car parts. It's being sold to raise money for the Darrell Gwynn foundation notice the body is signed by Kenny Bernstein, this body is being sold with the aim of going to collectors not racers.
Think of the auction more as a fundraiser for a good cause.
