Doesn't this mean the auction was 1-16-15 ??

Auction:2015-01-16Location:Kissimmee, Florida 34744Stock #:FL: S125Exterior:RedInterior:Black

I believe that is the auction start date and it goes thru the 25th. Could be wrong but there are other cars on the Mecum site that have sold and a bunch that look like they are to be auctioned yet. I'll be watching it tonight at 8PM mst time on NBC sports net and tomorrow etc...

[ZR1OUS 94]

Ahhhh, did not think of that,lol Thanks

[Z06scentair]

That car is lot S125 which means it will cross the block on Saturday around 3pm.

Looking to buy another?

[ZR1OUS 94]

NO,lol but it sure is a nice example. I know my car has more miles but I just want to see what it sells for. It really seems like the ZR1 is in a forgotten group in Corvette history:(. My car is still for sale and I have some interest but now have to wait for the new title in my name which can take up to 2 months:mad: I will be taking names and the closest bidder to 45K will get it when the tile arrives.I have had a maybe at 41K.

I just got back from mecum today. I was there tues through saturday. I saw a 25 mile 1990 car sell for 31k and maybe a couple of other zr1's all very low miles. I did see a black 1995 in the (bid goes on) lot that was a no sale at 22k. this car had 46k miles but had some mysterious repairs on the black plastic air intake piece using some some black muck adhesive and I saw a couple of new parts in the front bumpers which leads me to believe it had a small front end collision. this car sat there all week no sale at 22k. engine looked like somebody tried to clean it with some solution and you know what that means.... engine paint shot. very few corvettes at mecum compared to last year.

I also went to the NCRS meet at lakeland on Friday morning... I did not see 1 ZR1 LT5 anywhere in the show field, for sale lot or even corvette only parking lot. I did get a report that on saturday somebody drove there 1990 ZR1 to the show which was the only LT5 at the show all weekend. There was Tyler Townsley blue prototype on display in a special hanger where all the flight cars and special exhibit cars were being held. I did get a very rare opportunity to see up close and touch the iconic CERV II Corvette. This was Zora's baby. A guy opened a trailer and I saw that back end and knew what it was. He asked me if I would help him push it out of the trailer and into the exhibit tent which I was thrilled to do. This car is a time capsule. Untouched and 100% original in its final configuration that Zora left it in. It has a rear mounted ZL1 engine with exhaust stacks pointing up and outward, 4 wheel drive, auto trans on its original tires and magnesium wheels. This car was in a legal tug a war with GM and the new private owner. GM said it loaned out the car but right on the dash they placed a plaque that said (donated) not loaned for educational purposes. This car is in private ownership.. incredible. This rreally pissed Zora off big time. He remained upset about this the rest of his life. Our cars are pretty rare. They just are not seen around alot and sometimes not seen at all. I was recently at a large Corvette show in Ft. Lauderdale where I brought my ZR1 and was the only ZR1 LT5 at the show with over 400 cars. fyi. ed ramos #3028

I did meet Dave McClellan at the NCRS show on Friday. He looks healthy and enjoying his retirement.

I agree with Ed--The lack of ZR-1s at the auction and shows does underscore how rare our cars are. Still surprised the values remain quite low. At some point (probably not in my lifetime) collectors will discover the rarity and performance and they will get hot. Ed, glad you met Dave. He is great about being at so many shows and gatherings. --Bob

That car hammered for 47K but should be above 50K....

Sometime u get the impression that McLellan is the black sheep for what he did by having Lotus develop the LT-5. Altho u don't hear much about Dave Hill.

the car was clean but not impressive in person. the windshield was delaminated big time like a lot of 1995's. This was part of Roger Judski's collection of Corvettes. His brickyard 400 lt-1 convertible fetched 25k. I did not see what his 6 mile 1993 Burgundy Vert went for but it was impressive looking. I guess the most impressive ZR1 that I saw was the 25 mile 1990 that was ordered new by Ronald Reagan transportation secretary. It was mint and showed well..believe it went for 31 or 35k cant recall exactly. Our cars are unique but disrespected. Nobody wants to talk about them but when I bring it up most people remember and immediately get excited about the day the ZR1 LT5 came out to the public. Some people dont even know Chevrolet even sold a 4 cam corvette!

Ed,
My 95s windshield is the same but barring that what was not impressive about the rest of the car?
My car was bought from Rodgers in 2009 for close to 59K Kevin

No doubt Roger Judski has some of the finest collection of low mileage Vettes anywhere. I dont know where he finds them but every year I go by his place and it is just one after the other. He usually has many that have less than 10 miles without dealer prep. how do you find that?? the 1995 was not bad looking but it just didnt pop to me like some of his other ones. He had a new non dealer prep 1988 white anniversary car with less than 10 miles. He had a 6 mile anniversary convertible that was very impressive. His 25 mile 1990 just looked mint, paint, windshield etc.. I just find it a shame when I see a nice 1995 with a bad looking windshield. I know it is not the cars fault but GM should have done something about that years ago. This 1995 had 1800 miles and was a Roger Judski quality car but the windshield, to me, is just a big distraction. I would swap out a reproduction windshield and take the NCRS deduction.

It had a very strange delamination stripe about 3 inches wide going right down the middle of the windshield along with the usual big delamination all around the sides. Big distraction on a good car. I am sure it deminishes its selling ability to some possible bidders. If I would bid on a car like that I would take that windshield and the rarity of it in to account and adjust my bidding accordingly and offer less than it should really go for. What does a NOS 1995 windshield go for now days?? a ton I am sure so I would adjust for the cost of a new windshield. Remember when I first started looking at ZR1's in 2005 I could find one decent car for less than 25k. Now there are plenty of very nice cars around 20-22k so prices have gone down over time. This will eventually turn around.

Yesterday (Sunday) afternoon on TV I saw a red '95 sold, the last car on the program. Was that a different car from that mentioned above or a rerun of Saturday's auction? it was red, don't know the miles, the announcers were pretty limited on their commentary. It hammered for $45k or $47k, which all-in is $49,500-51,700. I would say all in all, not a bad result. -- Bob
