The market for a good 4 speed ZL1 seems to be a little under 300K right now. Having the orig. engine does not seem to make much difference. Reggies car is neat in that it has options. We all think we have one of the better one as I'm sure Reggie does also. His has a ZL1 block in it and comes with the orig block that he spent a bunch of money on repairing. At 275K bid on the car, if he lets it go he also has to pay 10% to the Auction House. That leaves him less than 250K for his car. These days, I'm not sure I would sell either.

Ok. Someone spends 330k for his car. They then take it to someone to get the original block put back into it. How much money do they have into it now ? / Versus how much more is it worth with the original block back into it ? With it worth the same with whatever engine in it, I guess this is why Reggie is smart in not bringing it to auction with the right engine installed. OL Reg was name droppin Ed on TV. LOL

He also said he paid someone 20k just for the information on where the car was way back when he bought it!

It was kind of tough for Reggie with his ZL1 following up behind that $950K Jaguar that didn't sell. The announcers are such idiots, they sat there saying "it's just a 69 Camaro and they made several hundred thousands of them." Then when the price kept climbing they added "does one of these engines really add that much value to these cars?" And I thought they also implied that a car with a name like Don Yenko on it would be worth more. I thought the buyers were paying 8% on top of the purchase price. Do the sellers pay 10% as well as the buyers paying 8%?

I also believe it is a buyers premium. The buyer pays the 8%-10% to the auction company. The seller pays $500-$1200 to run the car across the block depending on when it is sold. Roger

Yea they said Reggie "had a Yenko at home the he would NEVER sell" Those announcers were the Jaguar type for sure.

I bet he would have gotten closer to what he was looking for if the car was a different color.
