There's still hope (RM Auction results)........ - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I was at the RM Car Auction at the International Centre in Mississauga last Friday night. I go every spring and fall with a few buddies to check out the cars and watch a few go over the block. Then it's on to wings and beer at the local H

ters.

There was a 1990 ZR-1 there with I believe about 57,000 km on it. Came with both roofs. It was identical to my red 90 except I have A-Molds and this car had what appeared to be original sawblades, but I can't be sure 'cause I'm not that familiar with them. There was a spider crack in the middle of the hood about the size of a quarter. Other than that, it looked pretty good. It went on the block Saturday. I checked the RM web site the other night, and it sold for $30,250. I paid less than half that for mine in March 09, and with all the comments about falling values, I was suprised to see it go that high. There was a 93 Ruby Red 40th Anniversay coupe that bid up to $10,250 and stopped, a there was a 1991 roadster that bid up to $11,000 and stopped.

I can only assume that there must have been two guys that really wanted this car, but maybe it's a sign that things aren't that bad after all. I thought you guys might like to see some good news regarding values for a change!

Cheers

Mark
