Condition
#3 Good
Runs and drives well. Flaws not noticeable to passersby. Most common condition.
Impossibly wide, imposing car. Good paint. Impressive equipment. Worn interior. Tired, dinged-up wheels. Used engine bay. Visibly used car overall. Formerly part of the Bob Pond collection. One of 19 examples built. Chased by Wesley Snipes in the 1993 film Rising Sun. Featured in Road & Track in March 1991. Upon its introduction, the W8 did the quarter mile in 12 seconds and hit 60 mph in just 4.2 seconds, so its performance was as wild as its looks.
Market commentary
The story of Jerry Wiegart's quixotic pursuit of building the Vector should be a movie, albeit one with a sad ending. Maybe then the Vector cars could become cult objects like Tuckers, but until that unlikely day this is what a Vector is worth, exactly the same amount it was reported bid to at the World Classic auction in Danville in 1993.
