I know who bought the car and had it at auction, I am not sure if he still has it.

Any idea what it went for at the last sale?

The Z/28 that is now Evening Orchid sold for $165,000 at Mecum FL 2016.

Thanks William. Looks like the Market has spoken as to the Bona fides of this particular car then.

The market is a drunk that won the lottery. Who else would pay $198,000 for an X77 Z/28 converted to RS?

Very well said William ...I agree 1000%

Interesting. I know an X-77 that was built as an RS/Z Have known the car well for over 40 years now.

All the RS specific gear on it right down to the wiper motor and correct factory rear valance.

Words to live by.

I wish a lot of sellers could get that through their thick skulls. The "one bid up to 75k at BJ so I want 80k for my '69 Firebird 350" type.

I would not even consider paying half of what it sold for in 2016.
