Six ZR1's all with right at 100 miles each including a 93 anniversary ruby #448 yes..#448 brought a high bid for all six to $322,000 . They didnt sell, I was very dissappointed in the low bid numbers (this is the total bid , they tried to sell all six as group and brought $300,000 then they tried individually and brought $322,000) They 93 bid up around $75,000 the 94 around 52,500, the 95 around 65k, the 90 around 32k, dont remember the others. Beautiful cars, although, they WERE NOT PERFECT as you would expect. I overheard bidders talking to sellers after bidding closed and they figures were $350,000 + dont know if it kept going up or not .

I think the 90 and 91 both bid up to 35K.

I was happy to see that they did not sell individualy as that is one hell of a set!!! I was wondering what the resereve was for the lot.

I thought they all looked nearly perfect. I didnt fully inspect each one, but as they were in line I look at each one and thought that they all looked mint. Even the windshields were good on all of them I think.

Who owned them and why was s/he selling?

[Z Factor]

I wish I was there to see them. I hope they had drool cloths as I am sure many ZR-1 enthusiasts where salivating.

I got a bunch of pics.

Ill get them loaded and posted.

All of them had between 30 and 150 miles. (No K after each!!!!)

It was amazing to see. I overheard that a dealer got one every year and put them aside.

I would love to hear [Paul Harvey]The Rest Of The Story[Paul Harvey].

Thats me taking a "close up" of a paint flaw in the ruby :) I "in my opinion only" believe the 91 blue car had a repainted front bumper - did you notice the terrible tape lines?http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v233/ffvetteman/Callaways/100_3168.jpg

wish I had spoken to you, I spent hours on these cars friday and saturday while in the tent...took hundreds of pics of the little things, one of the cars had two right back up lights, the one on the left side of the tag was a right one jammed in there upside down - the 94 I think (have the pics
).

[ffvetteman]

I'd like to see some of them!!

I wish I would have known that was you, I would have loved to see the details.

[Corvette95]
