1992 ZR1 Bloomington Gold Top Flight at Mecum Question ???

[Kevszr1]

Anyone know anything about the 1992 ZR1 that couldn’t get past $20,000 today at Mecum Auction and it was “Bloomington Gold certified and NCRS Top Flight. I guess I’m skeptical but I’d figure a Z with those “credentials” would go for much more........ unless there was something not right.

Wow.....Anyone have any info???

It probably has nothing wrong with it...Don't think Mecum could possibly get away with hiding something, just would not be worth it to them...

Just not that much interest in the ZR-1 or maybe wrong day to put it up on the block..

I'm sure its a solid car but like anything else if the crowd does not want it, its not going to bring the money...."Oh wait lets spend over 30 grand on a mass produced Trans Am".......Actually a 79 Trans Am was my first car at 18 years old....29,000 miles, picked it up for $5,200 dollars in 1981, Yellow with T-tops..

ZR-1s just don't bring a lot of money, unfortunately. Good for those who want one, but bad for those who want to sell one. Heading out there today, will be sure to get a good look at this car. I'm a sucker for yellow Vettes...all out of garage space, so hopefully it won't come home with me!

What’s Bloomington Gold Top Flight?
Sounds like they got Bloomington Gold and NCRS confused?
Or maybe I’m confused, as usual or car has both?
Can’t read the attachment picture clearly on my phone...

Ok, please take a few pics and let us know about that car. I really think there some strings attached.... so to speak. On Thursday a Blue / white sold for $44,000 so there is $$ there. That car is 1 of 2 in color combination.

Bloomington Gold
NCRS Top Flight
And says “1st place at 2018 Autorama”

All that credibility and it can’t get over $20K.... I think there’s something possibly wrong with that car or owner “error”. Mecum is not responsible for any sellers claims. Just a very strange combination of things and it’s not adding up.

Sorry, didn't take pics, but I did get a good look at it, although it was just out in the lot and it was closed. It was kind of blah, dirty, not detailed. The mileage wasn't noted but based on the condition of the interior, it is not a low mileage example. It looked like a $20K car to me...the only thing special about it was the color, in my opinion.

Thank you very much for the eyes on description and for posting. So I’d say it’s probably a fair deal at $20K. Thank you again KILLSHOTS

Sad to think of a desirable color, and once car show quality car, would get so little attention before presenting it for a large auction.
