Let's just say......(another WIW Question)

[twertsy]

Let's say you found a '69 Z, D80, console/gauges, brown/white stripes / hounds tooth that had never been sold by the original dealer, 38 miles on odometer, window sticker still affixed and only outside twice in its life. Once for a test drive and once for a move when dealership closed. What do you guys think that'd be worth? Seems to me it'd be a landmark car right? I don't recall seeing another around like it?

Burnished Brown?

Brand New?

Oh My Goodness!!!

Wowwwww... that's better than Charlie's 70 Z. Id say the sky is the limit... to throw a number out there... 125 to 150K ?? maybe even more..

[John]

... You better buy it .... if you can <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/scholar.gif

... then ask &quot;What is it worth ?&quot; <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif

[twertsy]

Workin on that John............

[enio45]

that is like the car from Nebraska auction that was at MCACN- 63 impala - sky is the limit to a collector of orig, low to no mileage cars....id have to go to a 250 range for a car like that.

[Steve Shauger]

Obviously condition based on how it's stored is critical, but in &quot;like new&quot; condition 200Kish range.

[miket1]

I agree, we all see restored one's going for $125k price range, for a brand new on with no miles it could bring $250k, or more.

When safely in your hands post a picture for us.

Oh my!

[Stefano]

Hypothetically, that would certainly be a tremendous discovery.

[Charley Lillard]

Can I have it ? If like new condition with no fluffing I would probably go 250k+

[Postsedan]

You selling it $200K, BJ selling it $450K <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/headbang.gif

Not yet Dan.......you know, the whole &quot;ducks in a row&quot; thing.......

[Smokey]

Considering the 63 at Lamberts auction sold for around 100k which around 3-4 times the value of a restored car in the same caliber and quality, I would say 3-4 times the price of a restored Z. Then add for the cleanup, prep and work it will need like brakes, fuel system, etc. I would say Charley is spot on.

[Postsedan]

Just goes to show.....these &quot;Holy Grail&quot; cars are still out there <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif

3 to 4 times what a restored Z would bring seems about right.

Would have to see pics and if it is in condition as described, I would say Charley's offer is fair.

My dad first started trying to buy that Lambrecht 63 in the early 70s but could never get it bought for the right price.

Now that's funny......but I thought it was a white whale <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/dunno.gif

[twertsy]

Just returned to VA. NFS at any price is what I got. Sincerest apologies for getting everyone's hopes up, as I did my own, but it appears it will stay where it is for now. But, it IS there.....

[Bill Pritchard]

You got to see it in person? <<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/drool.gif

[twertsy]

I did. I saw it 15 or so years ago before the current owners dad passed. In exactly the same state.

[enio45]

and in current state - is it mint or been subject to any neglect??

[twertsy]

It looks new Eddie. Nice dry climate controlled building. Also has a '67 RS and a '68 SB, plus a bunch of other &quot;less collectible&quot; cars.

[Charley Lillard]

Can we get him to share it at MCACN ? A great car to learn from.

[twertsy]

I can ask Charlie but he's very hush hush about it. He was upset about me even knowing he has it until I explained how I knew his dad. Sad thing is his dad offered it to me for $35k about 20 yrs ago.......I'm an idiot. I remember thinking how ugly I thought the brown was.

[enio45]

that is worth a flight just to go see it!!

[GMC_Typhoon]

I'm not gonna dig up the post ,but some guy named something like 69L89vert said something about a 38 mile 69 Z still on MSO back in 2005.

[talwell]

I spoke to a guy a few years ago that claimed to have a car that sounds very similar to this. I purchased a posi unit from him and after talking he said he pulled it out of his &quot;427&quot; 69 Camaro. Very curious we spoke more and indeed he has a COPO 69 Camaro. He also claimed to have purchased a brand new 1969 Z-28 and paid it off in early 1970. Said he just moved to his house, had a wall removed and put car in house and reinstalled the wall. If I am not mistaken I believe he was in Arizona area. I have contacted him a few times to get the COPO but he said the time wasnt right yet. He did send me a few pics of it so I know he at least has a 69 burnished brown Camaro.
