And pumps and fuel level sender and maybe tank. Does the Bose work? Probably not but if so, not for long. Speedo calibration? LCD screen? Does it hold vacuum? Probably not. Master cylinders seals, caliper seals, slave seals probably bad too. Pretty to look at but that initial Maintence will be a few thousand.

And after that it will once again sit like a paperweight to be admired but not driven lest the value drop due to mileage. To each his own I suppose but I just don’t understand it.

Very nice clean super low mile example. Problem is there are many low mile examples around. The C4 in general doesn't get much respect. I recently saw an article on my phones google feed they read, " The C4 Corvette ZR1 is the Best Corvette of the 90's." They made 1560 Bright Red ZR1's out of 3049 in 1990. I see plenty of the Bright Red 1990 cars on eBay. Bright Red with Red interior or black interior. Once in a while you see a saddle interior.

That bid on day 1 screams shill bid. That kind of bidding just doesn’t happen on BAT, even on popular cars. Most of the bidding takes place on BAT in the last couple hours. I’m guessing the seller has a friend and it’s a no sale near the current bid.

It's got 15 bids and is at $46,250.00 now. Wow!

By only three bidders, who judging by their bid histories all appear to be dealers...

Not quite what that saying means...In this case, the ocean isn't the one 320 mile car, it's the 5000 30-50k mile cars. So if all the 30k mile cars jumped in value, then the POS ragged out cars would go up to.

One car going for a lot is not the "tide" it's a 5 gal. bucket of water in the ocean. Dump that one bucket in and the boats aren't going anywhere.

A 900 mile car sold for 44k back in February, but I haven't seen the rest of the ZR-1 market doing anything.

This is the cleanest, most well documented low mileage car that's sold for quite a while.

Sold for $47,250. Not bad for a 1990. Somebody got a really clean low mile car. I hope they will drive and enjoy it.

If the buyer paid 47k for a 320 mile car to drive it, they’re an idiot. They could have bought a 10k mile car for 22k...
