Hopefully the recent good price our cars are bringing continues.

That does look to be in exceptional condition; better than the 1990 recently sold on BaT. It will be interesting to see what this goes for on Hemmings. My impression (unscientific!) is that BaT auctions bring in more $$$ than Hemmings for similar cars.

BaT has brought some good $$ for ultra low mileage cars that may or may not have been sorted. Hemmings did VERY well with this 15K mile car last august.

This, combined with the interest & eventual sale of my 57' Nomad and the personalized customer service swayed me to list the car with hemmings vs. Bat.
IMHO, BaT has become the remax of online car auctions since it changed hands last year.... Churn and burn. The reserve price they got back to me with on my car was laughable.

8 days left on the auction and price is already at 25k. Looks like this car will do well.

Thank you. I went through it as though I'd own it forever. In my profession, its all about the details. That work ethic flows over intoALL my cars ( thats why I could never be a car flipper, id loose my rear) I just cant bring myslf to modify it as a survivor though. It is pretty cool to drive a time capsule 30 year old new car though, THAT I'm going to miss. Even my 19" Dmax truck has 2x that many miles on it now.
It's the one I would have if I could have. About my all time favourite ZR-1.
Need to blow up some of those pics for a poster.

If this car does go for good money then I know the drought is over.

Erik, send me your e-mail address and I'll send over any picture you would like. I took them on an iPhone 8s, so they are right around 4MB or so each.

Doug,
I should have seen that coming.
One of my all-time favorite scenes!
However, it is over.

Nice car, should do well!
One question: the seller's description says it's a California car and states it has "the limited production CA spec exhaust system and emissions cal"
You'd have to ask Marc about the CA calibration? But, I've never heard of the limited production CA spec exhaust system? From the pictures, it looks just like the original that was on my car?

I have never heard of this Ca spec exhaust,my car came from Ga and registered in Ca,had no issues getting it registered but as all Zs in in Ca have issues passing smog that's always a challenge.

I knew nothing about it either, until the car went through the NCRS judging process. Part #'s on the mufflers did not match what was in the NCRS judging book. They agreed that the exhaust appeared to never have been off the car and did not deduct any points.
I figured it out later when comparing my original tank sticker with the NCM reproductions. order code NN5 California emissions. I doubt that there was an ECM calibration change that went along with the NN5 order code. But, I may be wrong.
Watching nervously. Hoping for a huge last minute rush.

Sorry. Missed this. PM incoming.

me too! I'm surprised at the number of people that have contacted me asking the reserve ( its close by the way) or trying to get me to end the auction like its E-bay and deprive Hemmings of their comission. I guess nothing "should" surprise me any more.
At least there is a reserve. I couldnt roll w/o one. Either way, it is what it is at this point. We're all in the peanut gallery now!

Good thing I bought mine. Otherwise, I can't trust myself that I wouldn't do something stupid on your auction. :)
So what happened? Looks like it's over, but it's sitting at $38,500.

It automatically gets converted to a Hemmings Premium listing. Good till I end it. I've got a couple interested parties and a slot with BaT if I choose to use it.

If ya go to BaT, be ready to answer inane questions
from the peanut gallery about the Intermediate Shaft Bearing...
😀
BaT ain't what it used to be...
It's amusing but I'd never try to sell a car there.

I?d have to agree with you, auctions were closing at the rate of 1 every 5 minutes the other day. BaT isnt what it used to be. While it "was" an option, the after auction action has led to the local sale of the car to a good friend of mine.
