In my garage if I could..

I'd be surprised if anyone can pull that car away from Maksym.

So if that green 11K mile Z brought $205K, where would that put the 1800 mile black, stripe delete RS Z?

In a setting like BJ with Liquid bidders outrageous is a relative term.Makes you wonder what the Estes car would command there..

Anyone thinking they can match the price this Z28 got just needs to step up to the plate and sell their car at no reserve. Any takers ? Think Richard Maksym will put his up at no reserve ? I don't have the balls to let my prized posession go at no reserve. This is about taking chances. Is Jerry going to put Old reliable up at no reserve and let us scrutinize it very closely ? Will he put his Z28 up at no reserve ? This green Z28 took a chance and hit a home run. Most of what Jerry listed wrong with the car appears related to adding a cowl hood and maintainance. Jerry's car also has had a cowl hood added and paint work done. No big deal.

It seems to be more of an issue about the car being a low mileage(11,000 miles isn't really that low) and untitled car. It obviously isn't an untouched car so that leaves people wondering why it sold for $205K. We could guess and speculate all day, but this situation won't happen again so why bother. I know of a lower mileage 69 Z28 in my area. I'm not gonna tell the guy his car is now worth $205K just because one sold for that at BJ. His car is title in his father's name(the original owner) so it can't be compared to this dealer car. Just imagine what this dealer car would have gone for if it was truly untouched and untitled!

Jeff:

YOu may be right, but I remember thinking this market peaked out when John Berry's 5,000 mile white Z/28 sold for $29,500 a few years ago. Car is featured in Jerry's book.

Then it showed up for sale a few months later in Hemmings with an asking price of $39,000, and I thought, well surely this is the peak, assuming the seller got something close to that.

Now look. Also must consider that if bidding reached $205k, there had to be at least one other individual willing to pay about $200k, or the bidding wouldn't have gotten where it is.

Charley makes a good point. Hard to hit a home run without taking the risk of striking out.

I recently had this discussion with another member. I remember when I went to Volo to have my Z/28 appraised at $16,900. Perhaps foolish but at the time I never imagined that the car would be worth double. And considering how many were produced. Now its triple.

I have learned to never say never...

I do like the 1969 Z/28.
But I do not understand those that say it was a rare or low production option?
There was a delay in the production of the new 1970 Camaro bodystyle,so they had to build the 1969 Camaro bodystyle longer then anyother,almost 6 months longer,all the way to February 1970.
They built 206,837 8CYL 1969 Camaros of which 190,971 were Hardtops.
20,302 of those were built with the Z/28 option.
That's the highest Z/28 optioned production between the years 1967-1972.

<u>Z/28 Totals:</u>
*1967-602
*1968-7199
*1969-20,302
*1970-8733
*1971-4862
*1972-2575
That year doesn't seem like a low production year to me?

[SamLBInj]

Out of those 20 thousand there are still over 75 thousand on the road and another 50 thousand on ebay for sale
