69 RS/SS X22 D80 Blk/Blk Deluxe - 375hp Iron Head - 4spd - Tach Gauges Console plus etc..., #'s ,
Mint restored bottom to top .
$8500
69 RS/Z28 X33 D80 was either Orange or White/Orange Dogbite - Endura - JL8 RWD - Cowl Induction - Tach Gauges Console plus etc.., #'s ,
Mint restored bottom to top .
$10,500
I was a serious candidate on the Black SS.
Shuffled my feet for half a day too long - lost out.
Thought the Z was too far overpriced.
Didn't even test drive it.
Sorry i cant remember if it was White w/ Orange stripes - or Orange w/ White stripes.
Same owner , both cars in same place at same time.
"Big John" Akes of High Point NC if anyone remembers him.
Prices kept climbing up through 92-93 , then things started leveling out / softening for a pretty good while.
I'm guessing 1992 price on that Pace-Vert in good used-unrestored condition was around 25-30k zone - full retail.
PS - ironically , the Faktry Black SS i missed , the guy who bought it immediately color changed it to GarnetRed as tribute to his former car in his high school days.
Just the opposite of what happened to the stolen Garnet car going to Black.

Baron,
Good story. That sounds about right. Although I don't know what condition the pace car was in when he first got it, the price does seem appropriate for the time period at $16,500.
Pretty crazy when we think about where they once were and where they have come price-wise!
