30 grand for a 78 anniv edition Barret Jackson...

[Vette73]

I happen to tune in and see it...Fine, it was an L-82 w a 4spd and around 2,000 miles..

To me, the car did not represent that well..Gaps in front bumper, couple of missing center caps It had a lot of paperwork including a CT original title which the commentator raved about .Big woop..They made a lot of these editions, not a ton with the L82 and a 4 speed but come on, $30,000 dollars?

Lot of disposable income at Barrett Jackson northeast...

I saw that as well... I was scratching my head over it too. A friend of mine sold his with 2600 miles on it recently... Ill have to ask him what he got for it. It was like new...

Auctions are such a sh*t show anymore with their publicity and audience sizes. Just watch what stuff sells for on BAT now vs. two years ago. Stupid, stupid prices.

When 1977-80 Trans Ams are going for $60k plus, nothing surprises me anymore....

Saw the car in person, nice car, but not $30k worth of nice....
If GM put stickers, stripes and gaudy paint jobs on the ZR-1, our cars would be worth a lot more today....

Well the couple C3's and late 70's T/A's went soft in the beginning of Fridays auction. No big money for these cars today but it's early. I love my ZR1. I could have bought a 78 T/A that was very much like my first car. I couldn't turn down the Z I bought though. Just think a lot of these cars that go for stupid money you could own if you raced them for pinks. I know I could.

They aren't. Average at Barret Jackson for the nine 76-80 Trans Ams was 22,110 after fees. That makes the actual bid average about 20k even.

I think Barney sold for $ 17,500 if in fact that was the car.....I'm popping back and forth with the Met game...That's another story....I don't think anyone would bid on there bullpen....Lol..

I think if we put a 502 crate motor in the Z it would bring good money..😀😀
