Barrett Jackson 69 Z28 ralley green

[subyman99]

Hey guys, i was looking over the barrett jackson list of cars, came across what looked like a good deal for someone. Lot #962.2 http://www.barrett-jackson.com/applicati...d=443&pop=0 (http://www.barrett-jackson.com/application/onlinesubmission/lotdetails.aspx?ln=962.2&aid=443&pop=0)

It says "survivor" did anyone get to look at the car in person, was it an original paint, original drivetrain car? For the selling price of $41.8 what was wrong with it?

And it also says that its had a subframe restoration

I saw it there; it is a restoration.

Why do you think there is something wrong with it? It sold for market price. There were 4 '69 Z/28-RS at last weeks' B-J auction. Average price including fee was $41,388.

2012 YTD average price is around $49,000. Last year it was $61,500. The market goes up AND down. A '69 Z/28 is a common sight at a collector car auction. Lots of activity.

If that were a "survivor" car like it had stated i think it would have brought more than 40k with original paint etc. Thats why i was asking what was wrong with the car, had it been repainted, or restored.

The only true "survivor" '69 Z/28 I recall at B-J was 2009. 1 owner Fathom Green, 26,000 miles. Decent car, not great. Sold for around $60,000. Several restorations sold for more.

----Car was obviously repainted!.....Bill S

It's hard to tell by pics, my survivor 69 z looks the same, with original paint.

Real Trim Tags, Real Pad Stamps ... bring Real Money. You don't see them on TV or in auction results.

Oh yeah, documentation and owner history doesn't hurt either. JMO, Ed

pic of my original paint z28, along side my original paint l78. I like survivor cars, thats why i brought up the barrett jackson car as they stated it was, but clearly isnt..

Matt

[Charley Lillard]

Can I have the Z ?

[Charley Lillard]

Is the black tailpanel paint of the L78 orig ? If so can you post a pic of it ?

[subyman99]

yeah, the L78 has 18k miles on it, the original paint on the car is so nice it looks better than most restos ive seen LOL. The original owners son had gotten on the roof of the car when he was drafted off to war and put some dents in it. other than that the car is perfect.

[Charley Lillard]

Can you post a better pic to show the shine on the tail panel ?

[subyman99]

ill get a better pic tomorrow, its pretty dark in the garage, i need more space!!

[Charley Lillard]

If you just give me one of those cars you won't need more space.

[Mr.Nickey Nova]

[Charley Lillard]
