This is exactly the reason I don't like B-J - won't watch their programs either - they have effectively taken the Owner/Driver out of the market.

Where everyone thinks his clapped out '70 Nova is worth a hundred grand, not too mention that almost all Hemi cars are now made of "unobtainium". I can understand the one-off show cars, some of Foose's creations and this particular '08 ZR1 but leave our C2/3/4/5's alone - they should be driven.

A lot of real nice Driving Cars are now squirreled away somewhere waiting to hit the B-J million dollar jack pot. I really want a '90-95 ZR-1 - and I'm not going to be lowering it into my living room - it will be driven just like it's supposed to be.

OK - Rant over

Hey Scott, the 90s Zs are still a bargin.

I don't watch BJ all that much either, but I was yesterday for a few hours up until the ZR1. It seems as if some pricing is coming back into a more "reasonable" range, they even mentioned it on a few of the cars. I still think if you're in the market for an unusual or "collector" car you'll do much better outside of BJ. There were some Hemi Cudas that sold for almost believable pricing. The Superbirds are still overpriced IMHO, my brother bought one about five years ago that was a project car that was about 80% completed, and he got it for mid 20's.

I agree. Muscle cars that were certainly going for six figures a couple of years ago are starting to die down. Maybe one day I can get my dad his old '65 Sting Ray!

But a million bucks?! I don't know about all that!

The same guy bought a 1953 about two years ago with a vin 0003. PAID THE SAME FOR THAT ONE. $ 1,000,000.00 :rolleyes:

I remember reading a Corvette Quarterly article about that car. Interesting story, but I'm not the biggest fan of C1 Vettes. I don't know... I think if I had a few million bucks, I might just buy a ZR-1 for Monday through Saturday and maybe a ZR1 for Sundays! :thumbsup:

[Sihler]

I just can't believe what those '70 Nova's and Chevelle's go for. I never really liked the style of those years??

[GOLDCYLON]

Oh well when you have that kinda money to spend I guess :rolleyes:

Most of the million was for charity, so it was a good cause.
