Rick Treworgy Muscle Car Auction Jan 2021

Definitely something fishy going on!!!!
Prices are out of reasoning. Some cars getting great $$, Camaros, that are hardly considered collectable. Corvettes not getting even what would be considered a starting bid at Barrett Jackson.
When is an L89 worth more than a ZL1?
Were than any guys from the website there on the Saturday that can comment?

----Well! We know one thing for sure. The ZL1 is positively not original. If it had a prayer of being original it would have certainly been over a million.....Bill S

Sure makes you wonder ?? But that's easy to say when you are sitting at home. But I was under the impression that was the car sold by the IRS years back, advertised as "one of the two".

As I said it would be interesting to hear from someone that was there...

----I'm pretty sure it was the yellow ZL1 that the IRS got hold of. Current owner bought at that auction.....Bill S

I'm waiting to see the window sticker on the blue "ZL1", that would be interesting.

----It wasn't on display according to Scott Freese, and I can only make the extrapolation that it would have to be made up.....Bill S

Actually Coaster Krates are pretty cool and quite rare, but the point is these are Chinese Repro's, most made in 1999-2000.

They are great "riders" but by no means valuable collectors items. The only real "Limited Edition" was the 1999 Grape, which they made 600, I believe.

and a low price on a very nice Z16. Odd. That Z16 should have gone way higher. The 69 Judge had all kinds of wrong with it and it got a big number

You got the cart in front of the horse again.... sitting at home in Michigan freezing your azz off.
I've been there 3 times and saw the car all three times. I spent some time looking at the one time. I spent all my time on Lt1's, but some of the stuff goes hand in hand. I did not see ANYTHING that jumped out saying it was "a built" car. I still think it was the "drug" car.
But as I said in another post... How did they keep track of these cars? Duntov was sliding them out the back door to Greenwood, Penske, Garner etc, building the engines "on the sly". Who knows, we all thought there were ONLY two (2)!!

Hell, twenty years ago you couldn't find a set of BB aluminum heads. Now just google them and fleabay has 3-4 + sets for sale all the time.

I'd still take a 70-72 ZR2 all day and run your BB car... Been there done that!!

Back door Deal.... Still smells fishy. It was front and center for the last 3 years plus. The prices were way off on stuff....
