Help me out a little..... what's "LM" bodied?

I think the only way to escalate the price of literally anything is to start asking for more. Consequently, I'm glad to see this happen.

EXAMPLE: I recently did a full remodel on my son's house to be able to sell it. The realtor started in with the comp evaluation for a recommended listing price. I said "Everything in construction is going up, labor, materials even new houses. How are we going to justify the remodel cost if we keep comparing to old sales price? By doing that, values will never rise" We listed for 15% more and got nearly 13% more than the comps.

You will never get it unless you ask for it. That applies to a lot more than cars & houses

And then there were two! This guy just posted a second one Black with only 36 miles. Also asking $100K. He can ask what he wants, but in think he's crazy if he expects to get anywhere near that price.


Jerry, I agree, if we all went with comps, price would never increase. Had the same conversation with my realtor recently. Conversely, expectations on actual selling price need to realistic.

Some people paid 100k new for these cars. The most important fact is both cars have <40 miles. There are people that can write these types of checks and never even think twice.

The more cars that are modified in years to come, only causes the price of cars like these two listed continue to become more valuable.

No question many paid $100k plus back in the day to get the first ones and many have the coin today. Problem is they just don't currently bring those prices even with <40 miles, especially 1990's. A 1995 with those miles might squeek in there. Should they command those prices, we all think so. The market will come around to these, it will just take longer.

The very last ZR-1 ever sold to the public, with fewer than 500 miles and a very interesting history, languished on eBay for months at an asking price of $95K. I'd bet my Z that it didn't sell for anywhere near that, if at all. Agreed, we want them to be worth big bucks but they're just not. This guy in Vegas is delusional if he really thinks he'll near $50K for either car.
