Allot of people still have that mentality from days of old.... where at 100k miles, the car is done and needs an overhaul... Obviously thats not the case especially with a plastic car (no real rust issues) and the LT-5 engine under the clam shell... So when they see the miles so low as on many ZR-1s, they will pay more... in their mind, 50-60k miles is a used and possibly abused old car...
The people buying these cars now are the ones who couldnt get one when they were new..... like myself! Just a young guy starting out in 1990 with a new family etc... a $60k car was a pipe dream.... my first house was $59,900.
But I digress, Ive been preaching this for years,,, the C4 and the ZR-1 will have their day in the limelight again. Awareness is rising due to the new ZR1s release as well as another factor I just realized....
Having ALLOT of time to peruse the web for all things cars lately, Ive been seeing how sky high ($$) every metal car from the 60s 70s and 80s is selling for. Theres not allot of choices left for us working stiffs...
Lets face it, when a 77 Nova is somehow a $10-12k car.... in comparison for the bang for the buck, even an 84 Crossfire Vette comes out a winner. These cars will be just like everything else through attrition and such... Just taking a bit more time than we expected... not that I really care... I just hope I can grab another one soon enough before I cant afford it!
