Carolina Blue 1969 Camaro Z/28 @ Mecum Auctions

[miket1]

The ad says the Crossram Intake was stolen from the trunk, how can this be, I have read several GM Documents that say the Crossram system had to be ordered thru the parts dept, GM says they were never sent in the trunk,, a 69Z28 with a crossram goes into a Modified class , not an original class .
Agree the crossram is worth more money, but.

What a bunch of hooey.
It's been on ebay 3 times over the years - just a regular Z with special paint and the dealer modified the stripes. Now repainted. It's a 3.73 axle, btw - dealer changed to 4.10.
He tried to order JL8 and dual disc clutch, but was kicked back. The docs I've seen show nothing about ordering the crossram and the factory wouldn't have them anyway.

The dealer added the stripe extensions.

Kurt is right on the money with his comments. The crossram in the trunk story is fabricated and the JL-8 was added too. I know the original selling dealer and the next time I run into him I will ask him about that car. I have 2 or 3 feature articles on that car and in the first one about 20-25 years ago, it was just a highly optioned regular Z/28 with no crossram and no JL-8.

Standing in front of the car now. It's nice but not $450k nice...

This is really a sad story all the way around.... I agree with everybody here , it' sure leaves a bad taste in your mouth about the whole auction process and for Mecums acting this way, and with Kurts history on the car , why why why misrepresent a car like that and taint an otherwise pretty neat 69 Z28 Camaro,....?? It is disheartening to say the least...

I remember all the times this car has popped up for sale from collector to collector in the past decade or so. Each time it has had a different story concerning its different &quot;parts&quot; and how they appeared on the car.

Very pretty car but it's just a special order paint 69Z that people have added parts to trying to make it something that it isn't. Actual value? Maybe $100k?

[Mr.Nickey Nova]

Yes,it was part of the 69 Z/28 display in (08) at Chevy Vette Fest.I even moved that car around when we where lining the cars up.

I have sold a few cars at mecum, and mine were not artifically bid close to reserve to see if there is real money in the room.

[Charley Lillard]

Many auction houses bid up near the reserve. They by law have to disclose that in the auction info. They have hundreds of cars to get thru. You might have a 100K reserve on a car and one guy bids 10K. It has the potential to waste alot of time and the auctioneer knows they are 90K away from reserve so they bid it up quickly to where they think they can put buyer and seller within deal territory. You might see a car bid up fast and die fast but it is because the auctioneer knows there is no real money.
