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.

[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]
