1995 Comp. Yellow Z Ebay results????

[Meanmyz]

Hi guys. Do any of you know what the 350 mile Comp Yellow Ebay auction results were? It was the Ungerian collection car and Corvette Mike had bought it and listed it a few times.

Do any of you have the link? I wanted to put it on my watch list and didn't get it done. If anyone knows, I appreciate it.

Hey thanks ghlkal! Appreciate it! ..but, I thought it was a no reserve auction? ...I'll check out your link.

Hey ghlkal, I met you at Bloomington Gold this last year. We were both talking to Marc Haibeck. Thanks again. Take care.:cheers:

[Meanmyz]

You know what, I think that was it's earlier listing. This one just ended in the last few days. Thanks anyway.

Anyone?

[Vetman]

It was listed this last time with no reserve. I put it in my watch list, but it is totally gone from the list..... could Mike have just took the listing off. Or said it sold it locally???

[Meanmyz]

Hmmm. Very interesting.

[Cal55]

That is strange there were no bids on it. He probably sold it locally, beautiful car but a museum piece now or should be.

Right. It was nice chatting with you.


Sorry about the old link ... I couldn't find a newer one.

Museum piece?If it were mine it would be drivin!I cant believe that car didnt sell at $35K.

Was keeping an eye on this one.

1st auction ended May 6 at $36.1
Ebay Description:

Low Mile ZR1

95 ZR1, 350 mile, 2-Owner, Clean Carfax, Competition Yellow with Black Interior

2nd auction ended May 29th (listing removed)
Ebay Description

Low Mile ZR1

1 NO RESERVE! 95 ZR1, 350 mile, 2-Owner, Clean Carfax, Competition Yellow

Last time I saw it active it was above 60 bids and over $36K again. Had a bet with myself that this auction would be pulled. Still for sale on Corvette Mike website. I would be a bit peaved if I was bidding on the car unless it was actually sold.

[95 LT5]

Sold a few days ago.
I was emailing about it for a while. Don't know where it went or selling price.
Good thing it sold before I could scoop it up.
It would be difficult to hide that color from the wife.. hmmmm
:censored:

Was very interested in the 89mile blk/blk 95 that they had until I saw more pictures of it.
Very disappointed in the condition of it, otherwise it would be in the garage right now.

[Cdn ZR1 95]

Well. Interesting it sold. I would have been shocked that they were asking in the $fifties and they were going to let the yellow go with no reserve when it previously only bid to $36K. Still a very steep price for the black as well in today's market IMO.

He is not a charity. Or so he told me once.

Rogers Corvettes has a yellow 95,thought it was this car but miles are a little lower,price is over $50,000.That guy sure loves lookin at these cars,he sits on them long enough.Back years ago when I was looking for a ZR-1 he had a white 94 with 14,000 miles,there is a white 94 with this mileage at his place now,wouldn't be surprised if it was the same car.

[Blownrunner]

It originally wanted to get an older Viper, but at about $40k, it was too expensive. I ended up getting a 91Z instead because it was half the price. I am seeing low millage Z's going for what the low millage Vipers are going for, which I like as I believe both vehicles were similar in performance and rarity.

[Alberta_ZR1]

....Vipers are going for, which I like as I believe both vehicles were similar in performance and rarity.

I like that too!!! I'm happy to think that perhaps the increased publicity on the ZR1 is helping as I've seen more magazine articles within the past 1.5 years that either talks to the C4 ZR1 or LT5 then I have in past years. The Viper had the looks, but the ZR1 sure had the technology....well that and Competition Yellow definitely looks better than Dandelion Yellow IMO.

** Then you see a "used" (imported) 13 Viper being listed like this and you can't not want any Corvette...or pretty much any other super car on the planet for that matter **

The Viper does not have the looks,Im sorry but the car was ugly,the only thing it had going for it was that V-10.Im in the minority here but to say a Viper looked better than a ZR-1,just cant see it.

[Bearly Flying]

I sat in a Viper in a Showroom, Ya it looks purdy, but with the high door sills and cramped cockpit, there was No way My 6' 2" frame would ever get in and out of that thing.

My C-5 is good for getting in and out , the Zr-1 is not so good, but a whole lot better than the Viper.

[BigJohn]

The thing that stopped me from buying a Viper was 9mpg!
With the Corvette you could get the same performance and 18mpg around town.

Exactly. That is why I am glad that sellers like Rogers and Corvette Mike aren't giving cars like that away.

Granted, I like to find deals too. And I kind of whinced (and sighed) when Corvette Mike bought this car from the dealership in Ohio with their asking price of $49,000 and now is asking $54,000, or whatever exactly it is.

The point is, there is no shortage of "driver" ZR-1's, or even pristine cars with more mileage. Why make this one of them??? If the seller lowers the price to $35,000 or any current "state of the market" bargain price, then the percentages start to go up on the chances that this car becomes another "driver".

There are eventual buyers for cars just like these, who are looking for a special car, and will treat it as such and are willing to spend more money to get them.

As time goes by, we have seen many of the low mile cars (especially the first year cars) selling for a fraction of their purchase price - with more of the owners giving up on the idea of these being high dollar cars.

That idea or trend of the majority to "drive" their cars, is good for the cars that "hold out" as super low mile cars and will eventually help push their prices up, which will have the effect of helping us all out on resale. Of course, I'm never selling mine:mrgreen:.

Case in point, there's no need to turn some of these unicorns, into mere "ordinary horses"!

These cars represent "the way it was" for the ZR-1. With their "as manufactured" original engine finishes, original delaminating windshields, and GS-C footwear.

And it is kind of exciting to see cars like that every once in a while!

Hot D_ _ _! With that last post, I just achieved "LT5" status!:icon_boun:dancing
