Reggie's ZL! at Barrett Jackson

[Charley Lillard]

The Worldwide car is sold. Being a column shift Auto Green car might be making the difference. Also being at a Dealership seems to scare People away.

I don't think Dealers scare people away. I have several customers who will not buy unless they buy from a dealer. I think sometimes a certain car being at a dealership gives people a false sense of security that a car is for sale there and it will always be there if they can't find another one. We all too often get so caught up in the hunt that we overlook the obvious deals. I have looked back many times and scratched my head wondering "why didn't I buy that Black LS6?" or "I guess they didn't ruin the market for that ultra rare one of a kind 67 Shelby!" Bottom line is my Green ZL1 did sell so it was a good deal for myself and the guy who bought it. I could have asked $275,000 for it like every other one out there but I would probably still own it. I've heard the story "well you know it is Green and an auto", to that I say "well you know it is one of only 69 ever built and I can't think of any situation that the color green and an auto trans equate to a $100k deduction." I still believe that the guy who owns that car today is probably a little smarter than alot of us for not passing up such an obvious deal.

Mike,
First let me say welcome, good to see you here. I would have to agree that a ZL1 is a ZL1 and of the 69 plus two prototypes only approx. 50 are found and in existence today,so yes any one of them would be a very rare and desirable Super Car.

Congrats on the sale of the Lamar Walden White/Blue COPO as well.

Mike and Stefano, the three of us visited on this car recently, and yes we all will agree it was a sleeping money maker. And yes, I kick myself for not buying it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img] Mike I have done business with you and we both know I will again as a real friendship has developed and Stefano, we have done some super business also, and I am here to say that both of you know your cars very well. Wish I knew as much as either of you.The ZL1 was a steal.And Mike ,You are a true Mustang and Shelby GURU and man I have learned alot from you.You have had and still have some of the finest muscle cars in the country in your possession.And Stefano, You also have one of the most documented Cannonsburg Yenko Camaros in existence along with one of three 81 Turbo Yenkos Stage 2.

[img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img] I think Reggie is out of his mind. So you have a car that is worth somewhere in the $100,000's to $200,000's range, and you paid someone $20,000 dollars for the info on the car. What did he pay for the car originally? Do you think it adds up to the $280,000 that someone offered for the car? Hell no it doesn't!! I can think of a lot of cars that I could buy with that money. If that was me, it would have been SOLD!!!!!!!! Mark

the green ZL1 was a steal. the market on these cars IMO is light at $300k. obviously reggie didn't need the $ , he knows the market on these cars still has a lot of upside, think now, 69 Zl1's, how many hemi's, could you imagine if it had a drop top. ask the authority where he thinks the price of the ZL1's are going,(ed cuneen) he thinks they are still a bargain!

Many thanks to Mike & Tony at WWMC, great guys & nice facility! They worked hard to make the deal happen with me on the ZL1. It's a nice car that was very fairly priced, who cares about the auto. & the green color, it's a ZL1! It's great to see Mike on the site. As far as RJ's ZL1 & not selling, what can you say, the ZL1's are hard if not impossible to replace. The bid (if real) was fair but remember his car is/was a rare piece of racing history as well.

I wish that I would of had the money at the time to buy the one from WWMC. The green looks great and I personally like automatic cars. With my limited knowledge just could not figure out why it was discounted $100K. Seems to me that Patrick got a heck of a deal. Congrats on a great car! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

I know from family experience that Reggie is not the friendliest guy to deal with. My uncle and his associate sold Reggie '63 or '64 (sorry I can't remember the year) Impala SS with a 409. It was delievered by carrier and part of the agreement was some signed baseballs and a couple of bats. Reggie took delivery of the car and refused to hold up on his end of the bargin. My uncle however replied to Reggie that he "still possessed the title to the car." My uncle ended up with the bat and balls! [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
