eBay Find: Virgil Exner's 1956 Chrysler Plainsman Wagon Concept

This pure white example of Lexus' V10-powered supercar is located in North Wilkesboro, North Carolina and according to the owner; it has barely been used with only 66 miles (106 kilometers) on the odometer.

At the time we wrote this article, seventeen people had placed a bid for the 2012 LFA, the highest being $169,300. Given that its MRSP is/was $375,000, it's not surprising that the reserve has "not yet been met".
