Late 40s, have the money to have a weekend/fun car, and got tired of it being a newer model that plenty of other people have and wanted something that I lusted over as a teenager. Thus buy a restored higher mileage C4 ZR-1 in a unique color and then be willing to spend a bunch of money on it doing a 391 to make it something I'd always wanted. I'm hopefull that as more of my age group get into their early to mid 50s, they will have the money to buy their teenage dream cars, and the ZR-1 is definitely one of those.




Evan,
It has been happening for over 50 years and has firmly caught up with the C-3's, which were lackluster only s very few years ago.
Now, all of my low mile original, or well-restored C-3's are selling for well over original sticker.
While some argue the trend will die with the C-4's and offer their thoughts as to why, that seems a bit unrealistic given what has and continues to happen!
However, I also have a Grand National in the showroom as well!!!
