Default Re: Any thoughts on the B-J auction...?

The situation w/ the 205K Z is a unique one...hence the premium.

-Never titled to a private individual (always dealer owned)
-Obviously the low miles (a mildly maintained time capsule)

That car caught my eye in late 1990 when I worked at the Champion auto about a block from Midway Chev. in St. Paul.

They had it on display in the showroom and I slammed on my brakes and pulled in to check it out. I was about 18 at the time and was just amazed to see one in that nice of condition.

205K+ is an insane amount of money to me but the demand was there for a car w/ such a unique situation. Remember, it shared the same underground garage along w/ the 66 SS396 Chevelle that commanded a 125K price tag.

Congrats on the acquisition Dan.
