Proper Auction: 1985 Bitter SC
This next car came as a tip from Matt C who wrote: Bitter SC heading towards auction. And I thought to myself; Oh great, another opportunity for an oddball cheap and interesting car to get slathered with a thick veneer of nostalgia from a group of self-appointed experts in the comments of one of those 5% buyers-premium auction sites and then bid into silly money range by the deep pockets of…oh…wait…an insurance auction? Suuhhh-wheat!! A dirty car that might not have keys and will need a trailer to get home? That’s more my style. Find this 1985 Bitter SC on the IAAI auction website in Atlanta, GA.

This looks like a Corolla that someone tried to turn into a Mondial, with a 70’s Caddy interior. I kind of like it.
Close: it’s an Opel Senator that somebody tried to turn into a Mondial.
A car you can honestly buy on looks alone, since it was a generic Opel under the skin. I like the CD variant better, and almost as many were sold, but can’t recall ever having seen one for sale.
Good looking car. And most surprising is the ‘360’ feature on that website works really well.
