I get a kick out of these C6 ZR1 Guys

[Vette73]

You would never know it by the prices some of these dealers are asking for the C6ZR1...I'm not knocking the car at all but mid 50's to even high 60's these dealers are asking...

If you look at all the generations of ZR-1's all of them were really high priced when they came out.....That doesn't mean if you paid 120 grand for a C6 ZR1 your going to sell it for 80 grand..

If you can get a new C8 reasonably equipped for around 70 grand new, who's going to buy a C6ZR1 for 55-60? A collector maybe...Again I'm not knocking the car its just simple arithmatic...

The new vette will attract a younger crowd.Usually the younger crowd is not schooled in past generations of corvettes like the older crowd..They don't see the generation, all they see is the year and the newest technology which in this case is really up there....

So in my opinion the prices of the C6ZR1 will drop....Not many people will fork over 50-55 grand or so for a 10 year old car anymore.....

High prices of C6 ZR1's? Have you even looked at some really low mileage C4 ZR1's on ebay right now. Like how about a really low mile 91 ZR1 that doesn't have it's original wheels and I think it has headers, no cats, and at least a muffler change. I don't care what they paid for the car as these guys say they own all their cars outright. But they haven't a clue what the market is or they wouldn't have bought the car in the first place. Not and try listing it for that much money. Only time will tell you what happens with the C7 market. But it's going to get interesting.

Cars like this are limited as far as where it can be sold,no headers in Ca. That car bone stock might see $30,000 but that’s a stretch. I paid $30,000 for my 91 with the same miles back in 2007 then the market went straight into the toilet.

Yep, and that car will sit there and collect dust....

Well according to Cargurus a 1990 I was watching sold for $27,500.00 with just over 18,000 miles on it. Seems a bit steep for those miles and a 90. But what the hey. My son was talking with a guy who inherited a 93 ruby with 77,000 miles. He doesn't know anything about the cars and was asking lots of questions. It looks stock other than a camera bar behind the seats and what looks like a line lock someone did. The lock had a green wire with a switch on the end so you can switch it on and off from the driver seat. He was thinking about asking $24,000.00 to maybe around $20,000.00 and wanted to know what collectors would think?

Hmm, line lock on a ZR-1? I'm thinking of selling my 91 blk/blk chrome A- molds 51K..Its set up very similar to yours, powder coated engine, 448 RWHP...No issues except for rear amps out and seat bladders don't fill...Paint on rear passenger quarter is faded a little, only really see it in sun...That's it....

Its really nice but in the market today what can I really get? Would sell for a built C6Z06 or if I wait maybe even a C7Z but then your talking a substantial addition of funds...

Probably one of the reasons I'm in no rush..Don't really drive that often in the summer...Its just too hot and humid in NY...I prefer spring and fall....Even take it out in winter providing there's no salt on the roads..
