100% Satisfation Guaranteed! heh

 

Its a nice car, but a tad bit out of my price range...

 

Holy....chit.

 

 

FWIW, If I remember right... the last time a 69 ZL-1 Corvette changed hands it was for $3,000,000... and that was quite a long time ago.

Of course, I think there were only 2 of those built.

 

Are they really worth "That" much?

 

They are worth whatever someone (however dumb) will pay for them.

To me, no freaking way. Any mile he puts on that car is basically just hurting its value, I'd guess.

But then again, I'm a thousandaire, not a billionaire...

I'd be quite happy with a "regular" '69 Camaro with some modern touches.

 

775,000 bucks and reserve not met... WOW.

Let's see..
Ferrari Modena
C6 Z06
Porsche 911 TT
Mercedes S class AMG
LX470
Silverado 2500HD Diesel

There's six cars with still enough money to probably buy a nice sized house.


Oooooor... you can have a rare Camaro with numbers that even match on the hood insulation (they put numbers on that??).

Rich people are crazy.

 

And yet, not ONE of them wil be worth what you paid for them a month out of the dealership....with possible exception of the house.

Just because most around here (me not included, win the lottery and I'd buy it...better than stocks) don't get it, there are wealthy people who do.

This car is one of the last examples of the wretched excess of horsepower in the golden days of musclecar history.....it will always command the highest dollar.

 

For $775,000, you could have:
A Ford GT,
an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish S,
a C6 Z06,
an 07 Cobra,
a CTS-V,
a 300C SRT-8,
a Charger SRT-8,
a Magnum SRT-8,
the Foose Camaro,
AND enough left over to buy an 05 GTO

Honestly, would you seriously rather have the ZL1 over THIS garage?

edit: I just realized, this is just over 4700 horsepower!

 

Isn't that car something? Wow.

 

So you would buy that car only for investment purposes? Because you know if you drove it, it would be a horrible investment.

If so, I can think of plenty of ways I'd rather invest that much money than in a car.

 

I don't know. For some reason cars like this just don't have much of an affect on me. Part of it - a large part I'm sure - is the fact that I have about 1/775,000 of the first bid price in savings. More than that though, when there's no rust on these things, no dirt, nothing to fix, it kind of loses its soul. My heart beats more when I see a '69 up for sale on eBay that runs but is really rough around the edges. I can definitely imagine one of those in my garage (first order of business - buying a house and a garage).

 

Yes. {edit} er... no, now that I've read the comments over at yenko.net

FWIW, Pete Estes' one-off 1968 Z/28 convertible didn't meet the reserve at auction last year when the price reached well over $1 million. Rumor has it the reserve was close to $2 million.



P.S. - I just realized that HeartbeatCity.net is the seller. So the car is legit as is the asking price... although there is speculation that its being listed for advertising purposes. Supposedly they also have what is believed to be the most optioned 67 Z/28 in their possession and will be giving it a full restoration soon. I'll bet that one sells for a bunch as well.
