Could be the 25th anniversary thing may have awoken some interest.

What hurts the value of the ZR1 is its generation....There's really not any C4 Corvette through the roof on pricing....

Take a C3 L-88 Corvette and they sell anywhere from 5-800,000 and the only difference aestheticly from other C-3s like it is the hood bulge...Of course the motor is another story..

If in the future any C-4 will demand a high price it will definately be in my opinion, the ZR1...

I watched it too, pretty encouraging actually. Higher than many recent sales yes, but not necessarily over-valued. A good 90 with 23k on it and some aftermarket changes sells for 29 grand, definitely a good thing. The ruby car that sold right before it also got a very strong price, which made me watch the ZR-1 that much more closely.

Maybe the C4 is finally getting a little respect from the market.

Big Block, Smeeg Block...

You could get a Big Block in a school bus
or a dump truck!

Remember: they only have one cam!

The announcer made an interesting remark when discussing the GS. He said that "with the exception of the ZR-1, it was the most collectable!"
