Went into Goodwill to use the restroom. I had been in the same store two days ago, so I wasn’t planning to look around. But then, on my way out, I found this.
These have been sold at the Petit Le Mans directly by Panoz for a couple years, at the absurd price of (if I’m remembering correctly) $100 each. Well, not only did I find mine for $3.93, but it’s serial number 001.
To quote Futurama’s “Godfellas” episode, this is, by a wide margin, the least likely thing that has ever happened.

Damn! I’ve gotten some randomly awesome stuff at my thrift store but never anything that cool.

Accurate representation of Deltawang expectations vs reality.

All I get at my local Goodwill is stuff out of the Sears 1960s catalog.

$100 for 1/43? Holy hell...

I guess that is too scale, but it seems the front end is too short, and the back is too wide.
But I may be confusing it with the GTRLM Nissan other failure. Or the ambiguously gay duo car.
Nice find. Are you holding on to it or putting it up for auction?

I’m probably going to hold onto it a bit. It’s neat.

Same here. It’s awesome. I have the absolute coolest windbreaker in the known universe.

Nice! All I ever find at Goodwill is ... nothing.

Insanely awesome find!
My store has gotten stupidly overpriced. Like, that’s at least a $50 item at mine.
They charge over $25 for a small bag of very used Hot Wheels by me :(

My stores are like that, too, a lot. Especially on records; I’ve found some really rare and good stuff at some for the standard price of $0.77, but a few locations will put anyone remotely well-known in the showcase for $5+. I’ve seen several moldy Barbra Streisand albums asking ten bucks apiece, and she’s worthless even in good condition.

Serial 001? Dang, make sure to bring it to Petit LeMans this year and get Mr. Panoz to sign it!

That’s the plan!
