I have seen many of these vehicles. It is a shame that they will be sold. The Impala SS Project Vehicle was awesome. I believe that it had a 502 under the hood. Would love some of the newer concept vehicles.

Make the many soon-to-be-departing GM execs take their compensation in these cars, instead of cash. Starting with the Azteks!I Googled the two Vibes and found that both photos link to stories about the 2001 SEMA show right here on GenVibe!Here's the Vibe FX:Here's the Vibe Autocross:

Oh, so the Vibe FX is the "concept" that they used to advertise the Vibe before it came out...the one that made me want to buy the car. I personally don't think they should be looking at selling anything that is more than 10 years old. Selling things from the early 1900s bugs me especially. I can only hope that whoever wins the older vehicles will take care of them just as well.

I'm not sure why they need to bother. It's a nice gesture but they're so huge that even selling a half-dozen cars won't pay the electic bill at one facility for a day.
