Autocross = Sold on Scrap titleGXP = Sold on Scrap titleGTR = Sold on Bill of SaleFX = Sold on Salvaged titleWhat do these mean and why can't they be driven on the road??I would take each of the first three...the FX is just like any other Vibe on here with a drop, body kit and wheels.

I was wondering the same thing... At least they aren't all destroyed.

those all probably can be driven, what boggles my mind is how cheap they sell for!The Track Cobalt SS SC sold for like maybe 20k but was fully track built, full CF body, stage 3. But that couldnt be street driven or licensed so it was a track only car or a collector. But all those vibes are standard vibes with some mods so I think they'd be streetable.

I think that they were never set up for street use, more of show car or Trailer Queen use. they may not have the proper emissions and the 8 number VIN may not (key word) work in some states as well. I wish i would have known Barret swooped these up and auctioned them in Palm Beach sooner, that was 20 miles from where i live.

They are capable of be street driven, though not LEGALLY.They don't have VIN numbers and were never titled for street use. They weren't certified to meet safety and emissions specifications.So it would be difficult/impossible to license one. Car insurance as anything other replacement value as a show car or collectible would also be impossible to obtain without a VIN.

buy a junked Vibe and swap VINs FTW! (oh and pray to god you never get hit because you'll never be able to replace the body work unless you know someone willing to do custom stuff for cheap.)

The GXP was my favorite - very clean looking. Wish they would have offered that body kit.
