30 grand for a 78 anniv edition Barret Jackson...
 

I happen to tune in and see it...Fine, it was an L-82 w a 4spd and around 2,000 miles..

To me, the car did not represent that well..Gaps in front bumper, couple of missing center caps It had a lot of paperwork including a CT original title which the commentator raved about .Big woop..They made a lot of these editions, not a ton with the L82 and a 4 speed but come on, $30,000 dollars?

Lot of disposable income at Barrett Jackson northeast...

I saw that as well... I was scratching my head over it too. A friend of mine sold his with 2600 miles on it recently... Ill have to ask him what he got for it. It was like new...

Auctions are such a sh*t show anymore with their publicity and audience sizes. Just watch what stuff sells for on BAT now vs. two years ago. Stupid, stupid prices.

When 1977-80 Trans Ams are going for $60k plus, nothing surprises me anymore....

Saw the car in person, nice car, but not $30k worth of nice....
If GM put stickers, stripes and gaudy paint jobs on the ZR-1, our cars would be worth a lot more today....

Well the couple C3's and late 70's T/A's went soft in the beginning of Fridays auction. No big money for these cars today but it's early. I love my ZR1. I could have bought a 78 T/A that was very much like my first car. I couldn't turn down the Z I bought though. Just think a lot of these cars that go for stupid money you could own if you raced them for pinks. I know I could.

I think Barney sold for $ 17,500 if in fact that was the car.....I'm popping back and forth with the Met game...That's another story....I don't think anyone would bid on there bullpen....Lol..

I think if we put a 502 crate motor in the Z it would bring good money..😀😀

But, it would only have one cam...

On the other end of the spectrum, in case you missed it, a charity auction was done by Barrett Jackson and GM the same day for the right to own the very last C7 to come off the line in September. Proceeds to benefit a foundation that provides homes for severely disabled veterans. They showed a replica of it, a black/red Z06 coupe. It sold for $2.7 million. --Bob
