Also - typically those auction vehicles are fully developed and validated regular production vehicles that just weren't very popular at the time.

A 69 Trans Am convertible (qty 8 produced) or a '69 ZL1 Corvette (2 produced) were regular production options that anyone could have checked the box to buy but chose not to, either because of styling or marketing or sticker price.

For Design Studio vehicles or GM prototypes - usually there is a specific story for each one that gets out.
