Default Yellow '93 at Mecum Harrisburg passed at $37k

Just saw a yellow 1993 ZR-1 run through at Mecum Harrisburg yesterday. No VIN available to me but it had 8,000 miles and was Competition yellow with a white interior. Nice looking car. Perhaps a car others here know? Said it was owned by one family until a few years ago. It was a no sale at $37k. So maybe a dealer bought it and didn't get enough for it. Knowing the current market, I would have taken the bid. But that's just me. --Bob

I was there too and saw the car. Vin was 207. The TV broadcast said the car was just purchased from an 85 year old women. First time ever seeing that color combo in person.

That same car hammered for $27,250.00 1 week ago at a auction in N.C. The dealer that won immediately listed it for the Mecum auction. I guess 9 or 10 grand for a weeks work was'nt enough for him.

4500 mile red 1990 sold for $27500. Also, if anyone was actually there at the auction, did you happen to look at the white 1970 Monte Carlo SS454? It ran through on Friday. I would be interested in anything you remember.

Just because bid price worked up to mid 30s, doesn't mean it was fueled by real bids. Unless you know bidders, it is hard to tell the amount of the real bids unless the car sells.

Prices are crazy at the moment. I'm watching cars on cargurus. A 90 with 18 k miles went for a whopping $27,500.00 which was a miracle. But I see that a nice red 90 with 55K miles just sold for $12,000.00 and I think it was located in New Jersey.

Allot of people still have that mentality from days of old.... where at 100k miles, the car is done and needs an overhaul... Obviously thats not the case especially with a plastic car (no real rust issues) and the LT-5 engine under the clam shell... So when they see the miles so low as on many ZR-1s, they will pay more... in their mind, 50-60k miles is a used and possibly abused old car...

The people buying these cars now are the ones who couldnt get one when they were new..... like myself! Just a young guy starting out in 1990 with a new family etc... a $60k car was a pipe dream.... my first house was $59,900.

But I digress, Ive been preaching this for years,,, the C4 and the ZR-1 will have their day in the limelight again. Awareness is rising due to the new ZR1s release as well as another factor I just realized....

Having ALLOT of time to peruse the web for all things cars lately, Ive been seeing how sky high ($$) every metal car from the 60s 70s and 80s is selling for. Theres not allot of choices left for us working stiffs...

Lets face it, when a 77 Nova is somehow a $10-12k car.... in comparison for the bang for the buck, even an 84 Crossfire Vette comes out a winner. These cars will be just like everything else through attrition and such... Just taking a bit more time than we expected... not that I really care... I just hope I can grab another one soon enough before I cant afford it!
