Re: C4 Challenge Cars
Wow. I shoulda sold a kidney. The 88-89s are the only blue-chip C4 at least so far. They have traded in the 30s and up for some time.

Re: C4 Challenge Cars
I really would have liked to have the Kim Baker yellow Corvette and raced it at vintage/historic events (like VetteGuy does with his Corvette race cars), but looking under the hood of it just isn't the same as seeing an LT-5 in there.

Re: C4 Challenge Cars
They were super cheap - I saw FU's post and registered to bid, thinking they were going off on Thursday. The banks were closed Monday, and I didn't make it a priority to get the bank letter in as I should have Tuesday/Wednesday. I received a call Wednesday about the cars, and found that once the auction starts for the day, they will no longer process bidders.
Not sure I would have purchased one of the cars, but I certainly would have driven the prices up on 2 of them. The good part of not bidding is that I don't have room for another car. I could only hope these cars went to someone who plans to run them - I'd love for Russ to get one and run it in the Vintage Sprint Series. Another '88 Challenge Car without Dymags, emblems, and livery that the #42 cars had went for mid-30s just a few months ago. Another '88 at 2016 Carlisle sold for mid-40s. The '89 was the first Challenge Car I've seen sold in the past 3 years. World Challenge C4 Corvettes, like the Dieline car, are hard to come by - there are only a handful and you only see one for sale every few years. Only 2 ZR-1s ran World Challenge (Pirate Car, and the Tsunami Car that was wrecked). Likewise, there were a lot more early Escort Corvettes, but good luck finding one like the Bakeracing '87 that sold. It may be only a L98 under the hood, but man, the experience of driving a part of Corvette racing history with a set of Snake Skinners in front of you, as well as a World Challenge winning Bakeracing car on a track like Indy or Watkins Glen is PRICELESS!  Regards, Mark
