Re: R-E-S-P-E-C-T: Maybe the shot in the arm we needed!
 

Dont worry in this economy the prices are not going anywhere but down, The Black ZR-1 that sold today on mecum was some celebrity that went for 30k. Look at lot T156, I saw that car last week when I was in Orlando and it is flawless, It sold for 23.5K
With the release of the Z06 Convertible, C7 coming in less than a year the price is falling on C6 Z06, ZR1 which will make the C4 ZR-1 fall even more.
I do somewhat agree with Lee that the LT5 is special but IMO I think the LS7 is just as special a small block Chevy engine that put out 505HP from the factory. No stinking supercharger or inter cooler. Just balls to the Wall Horsepower. Just like the LT5.

RAW UNADULTERATED HORSEPOWER

Re: R-E-S-P-E-C-T: Maybe the shot in the arm we needed!
 

Don't get me wrong, I love the GS, but aside from 30hp & paint, not sure I understand why these are selling for $50K or more

Re: R-E-S-P-E-C-T: Maybe the shot in the arm we needed!
 

Mecum's website states bid to 47k but not sold......didn't meet reserve?...

Re: R-E-S-P-E-C-T: Maybe the shot in the arm we needed!
 

Nope it did not meet reserve.......the one thst sold for $45 had 3500 miles

Re: R-E-S-P-E-C-T: Maybe the shot in the arm we needed!
 

I was at Mecum with the 53 I restored back in 2008. Bid $160. Sad. Lots of decent deals. Restomods selling for very good $$$. ZR-1's still a bargain.

Jeff, I saw that silver 64 coupe. Solid.

Got a note from Bill Stephens the author of the Blog:

Hi Lee. You are a wise man. ZR1's are great cars and the market continues to disregard their potential value. I'm going to buy one soon before the prices begin to catch up with their collectibility. That Callaway is also a good investment. They did suffer from some durability issues in the beginning but for $11K, you're way ahead. Enjoy those rides!
