Brush with Greatness - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I was checking out the current N.Y.Times article on the auction season, and noticed the Red/Red 67' L88, (#2 in the slide show).

It took me back to Nov.94' when my son and I flew out to Corvette Mike's in L.A. to purchase and pick up my ZR-1.
My white car was parked next to this Red/Red mid-year, a beauty. When they popped the hood I was blown away, a big, bad, original L88! I had seen two of these before, but this one was impressive. Totally restored, with an asking price of $500K.
Same car, this month at Barrett Jackson, went for $3,900,000.00. Not too bad as an investment. But too rich for my blood.
