ZL1 @ $410,000.00

It looked like the car below but I never heard "rebody" or EXTENSIVE creative sheet metal replacement during/before bidding. I did see the (very) small print under one of the photos on the poster board. This is great news for clone and rebody owners.

There you go Chris with that big wooden spoon to stir the pot.

I just have a hard time with spending that kind of money on a car with a VIN swap with that whole Federal law breaking. To be honest if there was some sort of way to get the Feds involved with the process and get it doccumente as legal I might be okay with it. I don't know where I would draw the line on sheetmetal repair then.

Exactly. The significance of swapping a VIN from a wrecked body to another is an elephant in the room. As far as the rebody description being clearly read by the BJ announcers, I could not hear that on TV due to the SPEED channel commentators talking over him.
(I replayed it several times)


Usually if there is a problem with a side view mirror screw or a trunk sticker put on crooked, Steve Magnante would mention it, as he would wrong color, multiple repaints, incorrect engine, etc. I guess he didn't get the memo on this car.

If the seller was as honest as he could be and met his obligation to be truthful then all is well. Forget I mentioned it.

Putting away the spoon now.... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/rolleyes.gif[/img]

I'd be willing to bet, everyone who bid on the car knew how the car was restored, and didn't care. They didn't throw cash like that around without reading all the &quot;small print&quot;

I'm waiting for the new proud owner and his first post on this web site, &quot; Hi all. Just wanted to stop by and say hi. I own ZL1 #9&quot;

I heard the auctioneers describe the car as being restored using NOS parts and a complete GM body shell on the Speed Channel broadcast. it was hard to hear any other details as the Speed crew were talking about ZL-1s and you had to listen around them. Sounds like George was true to his word about making sure the car was accurately described. Kudos to him.

To me the price achieved is far below what the car would have received if it wasn't a rebody and reflects good information about this particular car being available in the marketplace.
