Returns on these cars are averaging 30%, typically classics bring more, could see this one going 45-60% of ACV

Anybody know what the copart ZR-1 sold for ?

FYI, I maintain a dealers business liscense in case someone needs a broker to bid on one of these sites. I would charge like only $1-200 range.

No way they cleaned this car. Id love to know how deep it got.

That interior looks clean this is odd.

All of the Torx heads on the cam covers are badly rusted so it got in the motor

Quite right on the Torx!
The ignition, the key and the key ring also show rust.

Agree, and there also looks to be salt water-type corrosion on the top of the plenum. I am guessing this car was completely submerged in the Houston flood. Maybe that's why the interior looks so clean. No visible water line as it was probably above the roof. I wonder what it smells like! --Bob

Quasar Blue or any other color...don't buy a "Flood Car".

Most cars with water damage serious enough to be called a flood car need significant replacements of wiring and electronics. On a 25-year old C4, that would be a herculean task, even if you could get the parts.

I totally agree !! Years ago before better records were kept I would accidently get ahold of a "wet" car through an auction.
Believe me, you will NEVER get finished working on it.

These were not salt water floods.....most got buried.....we totaled about 1K cars with my company. Sand was worse...salt, salt, salt

Most of these ended up bringing 28-30% of ACV
