Would you sell?

[Fully Vetted]

Saw this at Mecum today. I'd be hard pressed not to sell at that price. Would you?

Let me get this straight: it's a '95 with less than 1500 miles and 99.6 point Top Flight award and yet, THEY'VE STUCK ONE OF THOSE FRIGGING DATA PLATES ON THE CONSOLE?!?!?! You've gotta be kidding me!

Good catch, I didn't notice that. NCRS now at 99.4? Bad move.

[Z06scentair]

If you think that plate is bad. I've witnessed people buy Mid-Year cars that are Top-Flighters only to find out original parts had been removed and returned to their original owner, and aftermarket parts installed in their place. 125k price tags

A set of KO wheels can bring 20k, bumpers you ask? 4k

It's no different with any other Corvette that has flighted. You better know what your looking at.

That is top money currently for these cars. It want be long so better snatch another up soon!

Are you talking the one on the ashtray cover? If so - I thought those were factory items? Tell me more cuz mine has one too....:o:confused::dontknow:

Aftermarket

Be very careful if you remove it because the surface finish of the ashtray door can be damaged. There is an adhesive backing on the data plate.

IMO.........a waste of a nice car. Your opinion may vary.

Great rate of return on that investment, put up 80K wait 19 years get back 43K, Obamanomics....at its best

HA! Agreed; much like the rest of America, our cars seem to be suffering from a "decreased footprint."

[edram454]

unfortunately that is what the market brings. I have seen more zr1 lt5 going for less than 15k than I have ever seen. we are definitely seeing the market low on these cars. This is a 95 and it does have less than 1500 miles so it will command money. I think 43k is about right maybe a tad low since it is a 95. If the guy is selling at mecum he must also pay to sell it and now his 43k is less than that. I figure if its close to your price then cut it loose just so you dont have to two it back home and spend more money.

[rkreigh]

sorry guys, the ZR-1 is NOT an investment car unless you want to NOT drive it and wait until you are very old

my investment is in DRIVING it. one of the highest performing and most reliable cars I've ever had.

stock at 43k that is a pretty decent buy, but for me the 95 I saw with at 19k with 80+ k miles would be the one I'd want to TT that bad boy rather than molest a collector car. or Nacho's car at 12.5 is a smokin deal

I honestly don't think the ZR-1 is ever going to fetch the big dollars or even climb back to what they sold for anytime soon.

could be wrong, but I don't think I'll live long enough to see it as it's another 20+ years out

so would I sell it for 43k, YES in a minute

would I sell my LSV for 43k, YES in a minute

[Fully Vetted]

I agree. I do think they will end up collector cars just like every other unique Corvette. But, with 7000 produced over a 6 year production run I agree it will be a while and the unmolested cars will do much better.

As far as this car goes, the only reason it's worth more than the rest of them is because of the low mileage so the only reason to buy it is to stick it on the shelf and be patient. My advice...SELL! SELL! SELL!

Here are the 2 shockers to me:

1993 - 37k miles - well into ZR-1 territory.

When the top goes down the price goes up...

1991 Beautiful repaint and new interior. 1 of 163 with an AT and Z07 suspension. What a steal at $7k. I was very close to buying this car just for a daily driver it was so nice.

[edram454]

yeah that white car is gorgeous. there is money to be made there. depends how many miles. Last year I bought quasar blue metallic lt1 with 30k miles in mint..mint condition for 9k. both tops, black leather int like new all paper work. Had it 3 weeks and sold for 12k. If I had garage space I would have kept it.

I kept the blue mint glass top. oops..

That red '93 makes NO sense. I smell an original owner who wanted the car back for sentimental reasons at any price and tracked it down at auction. (or some such back story)

Building Block Sell.

[Bob Eyres]

The big difference between these two beautiful drivers, and a ZR-1?

They weren't built to raise hell, that's what. And there are a whole lot more people out there that would rather have a gorgeous old Vette, just to cruise, than an aging "King of the Hill".

Not me. :thumbsup:

[Z51JEFF]

Id rather have the white 95 thats floating around here.

I saw one even better then that at the show yesterday. Somebody had a 95 Vert, original owner, 17k miles for sale. $25k. Totally stock. Nice car - but hey my car won the class and he didn't place. I shoulda gave him my name and # so he could give it to whomever was crazy enough to buy it... Maybe they want a faster one... (EVERYTHINGS for sale..lol) :p

[cvette98pacecar]

Dave, I wish I could find a couple of saps to give me 70K and tell me invest the money anyway you want for the next 17 years. However after the 17 years is over I would have to pay them 40K.

Anyhow last night I was watching Jay Leno Garage and a 1962 Ferrari 250 GTO sold for $38,115,000 at the Bonhams Auction 2014.
In 1962 (52 Years old) the car new sold for 18,000. If you use the rule of 7 the value of 18k over 49 years is equal to 2.3 Million. So I take back everything I have said about automobiles are the worst investment ever. I now will say 99.999999% of all vehicles are a poor investment.

Robert,

In 1967 a corvette l88 was about 6k. The late Buddy Haron sold his last year for 3.2 million. It's not 38 million but its enough for me. Maybe 18k in 1962 was too expensive for most people but 6k in 1967 was affordable. It is the obscure model with unusual and expensive parts that bring the money. how about 1969 ZL1? If the motorcar company makes it difficult to buy and its expensive, then it is a winner. L88 corvettes were difficult to buy since many of them had to be approved by zora duntov to be sold to a particular customer. these models were made to order. If one languished on a showroom floor it was a deal that went bad or a trade in because it drove lousy. There were lots of these cars available in the early 70's for around 3k no problem. I wouldn't mind a couple of used ones.
