Lol those are the exact same pictures as well! Except the first one. The one I saw had it on a trailer but either way I'd say it's too good to be true

I still don't get why they didn't strip the car down? Almost seems like the owner wanted it gone, and had some guys '' joy ride '' it for him lmao

Probably like most every single GM concept car I have seen, it cannot be registered for street use. The DMV probably saw a vin that doesn't link it to a cobalt and they assumed it was stolen. Your friend should have done more research

That is the cobalt 272 concept, its a shame that is has been screwed up. I got to see this car in action about 6 years ago, and it was awesome looking and would move out quick when the GMPD guys were getting on it

I was just talking about this car with Infraredline on the weekend! Sooo sad to see its all messed up. I personally really liked it. $3500? That's a steal.

What a shame. Some people just don't know how to take care of nice things.

If I had that car it would still look brand new.

I wouldn't call it a steal for a car that needs many thousands in rebuilding and can never been titled or registered and driven.

Ya youre right. I guess if it wasn't smashed then it would cause you can't get parts. **** buy a motor for $1000 and throw it in. I know you can't register it but make it a track beast haha.

I swear I saw this car on eBay like a year or so ago for like $25k. Mint ofcourse.

That is one ugly riced out Cobalt. Engine does not run, its been wrecked (and not fixed), ugly bodykit, you can not get it titled,......i dont see that worth over $500.00

Im all for helping establish roots for the Cobalts and heritage like the muscle cars do but this isnt worth much in my book. Better off getting a used 2006 SS/SC.

that "ugly riced out body kit" isn't an add on, it was the prototype that GM made while designing the SS, eventually becoming what the SS came with.

This car was originally sold at a Barrett Jackson auction in Florida (I think) then was stolen. It was listed on A Maryland/DC Craigslist and bought by my buddy Brad Smith about 6 months ago. When he went to register the car he found out it was stolen. The car is now being sold by the rightful owner.

Just out of curiosity but why can't a concept car be titled? Safety reasons?

They have documentation to back them up. A concept car is simple what its title says. A concept. Kit cars are produced for people to build and register them to drive, a concept car is not built for that purpose
