I want this. It's not the fastest, only a 6cyl OHC in it. And it's oldish, but I like it. 1964 Pontiac Banshee XP (eXperimental Prototype). And it's a steal at only a mil and a half!

MH, it is a fantastic looking vehicle. Lots of styling cues showed up in a lot of GM products.The OHC inline six was developed courtesy of John Z. DeLorean (Where have I heard that name?). The old guys tell me it was a head gasket blowing bitch, prolly cause the General did not engineer the head/head gasket good enough. Indeed, a rare find. I thought it was destroyed eons ago. Also, note it has an extremely small carb, one or at most two barrels. Steal sales from Corvette? What were they thinking or smoking?

Actually, corvette stole most of the Banshee's designs for their 1968 model year (body-wise anyway)
I first read 1,500 or 15,000, then I crossed my eyes and saw the truth ! :confused:
lol !
I've slept with a few Banshees....

Probably will show up on Barrett-Jackson in the autumn at Las Vegas or next winter in Arizona. The high rollers will be dying to spend their money for this one......
id rather have that '69 Trans Am or the '69 Hurst Olds 442 convertible in the background..
