Corvette promotional models - values

[RPOLS3]

Google searches have not turned up much current information on valuations. Who is/are the knowledgeable sources on these? I have a collection I am bringing to MCACN to sell. All singles that are new in box that spans 20-25 years starting in the mid 70's.

Thanks in advance.

I tell people I bought more Corvettes at Barrett-Jackson one year then anyone has ever done. Bought 116.........but they were all Promos.... Doubt I will come close to even getting 1/3rd my money back.

I hear ya. I'm guessing I'm in the same boat, even with what I paid for them back in the 80's and 90's. At one time they had some decent valuations. Not trying to retire on these but they have been sitting on the shelf in the basement for years just taking up space so time for someone else to have them.

Looks like e-bay has decent although depressing results on these. Maybe I can get enough to cover our bill at Gibsons for the weekend. :beers:

Good day Kind Sir,

Upon inspection, I wish to acquire your product for sale at the agreeable cost to me. I lament to your reputation, that you will understand my monetary limitations for this transaction. I will send via wireless transfer the negotiated amount to cover this and parcel processing and with your magnanimousness, will deduct any remaining over monies from this union.

Time is of the essence with this as I have business to attend to posthumously in the next calender time schedule. I await your business transaction details and correct banking numbers.

Respectfully,

Tabuli SriLankey Hamageny, Esq.

Charley, do you know who the seller is ? I was going to bid on a car, but see it is in WI. I thought this was your stuff.

[Charley Lillard]

No idea.

[Charley Lillard]

No idea. Mine are home and I wish they weren't.

[Too Many Projects]

No idea.
Thanks, I can't figure out how to see you the seller is on there. Guess it's a big secret.

I did find an address and it appears to be a Mecum Auction house in Walworth, WI. Right on Hwy 14, which I will be on to get to and from MCACN.

Thanks for that link Charley - looks like I'm in line with the those results. As I mentioned in the for sale ad - if anyone has any interest let's talk. I will have all of mine at MCACN and don't want to bring them home.

Here is a link to an interesting current auction of a large promo collection.
