I appreciate the man and his accomplishments, and the fact he is a car nut, but most of what I have seen at auction of his has been mediocre with only a few bright spots. Same with some of Hendrick's auction wares.

----Chuck,,,If you are talking about the $240,000 red LS6 it was a hardtop.

Same Red/Blk LS-6 being written about at B/J
How was paint ???
Owner/Seller of LS-6 related to me in Email
how he felt shop gouged him on paint and small repairs.
I want(ed) to take my 70 Z28 there for paint
but shop owner quoted me very high price (even in CDN $$) </div></div>

Not the same LS6, Chuck! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img]

If you would have added the &quot;standard equipment&quot; spoilers &amp; cowl hood it would have went over $100K.. lol Sorry I couldnt resist.. Seems like every Z you see at an auction is the typical cowl hood and spoiler car... Yours is an amazing looking ride. Someone got a hell of a deal.

When a car goes for a very high dollar amount, its stated that barrett jackson is full of drunks and speculators and doesnt reflect the real world pricing . Cant have it both ways. </div></div>

Prices are to high. There are some exceptional cars that deserve more money. But as a whole things got out of control. I am sticking to that.

I'd never do that. I'm an honest purist. Adding options is not for me.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: watk69</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> Your car was spectacular and the one I told my buddies that made the most sense out of all the Z's there. Rare combo of 4.10 gears, wide ratio box, and original drivetrain. Were you ever able to verify if an M20 was ordered with the car originally? </div></div>

Thank you. M20 was not born with but it was date code right. Car was ordered with an M21 originally.
