Anyone know this car? 40th on Ebay - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Sphinx · 04-30-2016

40th Ruby Red on Ebay. Looks like a sale previously closed at $18K, but the car is relisted again. I found some sites showing the car for sale at $13.1 - so unclear what the seller's endgame is.

In my pursuit of buying my ZR-1 this was one of the first cars I inquired about. It was on eBay well over a month ago. As I remember it the person selling the car is selling it on consignment for the widow of the owner. The seller said the reserve was around $30 to $31k. Not sure if that has changed. You can get to the sellers website from eBay and his phone number is on that site.

For a reserve @$31K and 53,000 miles that cars not going anywhere and it looks like its been repainted,Ruby paint doesn't look that good.

Why do you think it has been repainted?

I missed it that the last auction ended at 18k unsold. I thought it sold. At 18, that was generous. They should have taken it.

As for the color, I've always liked it.

Look at the undercarriage pics. TONS of overspray. It was definitely repainted.

I wondered about that. Thanks.

It would also explain that he isn't including the auto check in his ad.

DEFINITELY repainted. Probably by MAACO judging from all the overspray.
My real question would be this: If you are looking to get top dollar for a "collectable car" wouldn't you take it to a detailer first? I may be a little cleaning anal - but damn my interior looks 20 times better then that at IT'S WORST...

I called and spoke with the seller and he said that the nose had been repainted when it was backed into by another corvette driver at some club event. So, perhaps the owner decided to repaint it all at once.
