Just watched it sell on discovery channel at mecum auction. 2009. What an amazing deal.

Shurshot

Yes a good deal....... well broken in but probably runs better than most

OnPoint

Yeah, I bet it's been flogged pretty hard. That said, potent package at a reachable price.

Without any history and information about the car the price is completely meaningless.

What is the commission at the Mecum auction?

It is really a big drop. Back in 2009 most people paid $10K over the sticker, plus the Lingenfelter mod (we don't know if it is 1ZR or 3ZR), at least $50K drop.

Mr. Gizmo

- perhaps it was a Lingenfelter test mule they used to experiment on and as their promotional car. That may help the value down the road. Its probably worth the extra 20 to 25k to get a new or near new zr1. No telling how much you would have to dump in to this thing as problems sneak up as it gets driven. Road hard and hung up wet.

Crazy price for that car with those mods. They didn't list mileage either and did say it had done several lengthy cruises and the Texas Mile. Even with 20k miles that is still a deal IMO. I bet you couldn't get away with any warranty work either if it needed it so that's a drawback. They also sold another 09 ZR1 (JSB) with 800 miles according to description for $91500. That seemed low to me as well, with low miles I would think mid-$90k's.

LPE's test mule that ran 9.81 in the 1/4 mile is sitting in our show room with right at 1K miles. It is a 3ZR and in PERFECT condition, not for sale though.

This actually was a Lingenfelter car - for sale by LPE along with many others. They apparently unloaded a few Vettes they just had sitting around the shop

My car was actually a Lingenfelter car, that I purchased from Ken Lingenfelter. My car was the car used for testing and the test mule for the redesigned inlet snout. It was also the first 9 sec ZR1.

DebRedZR1

That is VERY COOL

Plus this shows just what a modified ZR1 brings (even by a famous and honest tuner). I learned this the hard way over the years. Do this ONLY if you are going to keep the car. People assume (and usually quite correctly) that the car has been beat up. Never do you get any kind of money out of this kind of deal

I was there racing the day your car went 9.81.......That car is awsome and would have probably been quicker if the 4th gear syncro had been done by you!.....But much more impressive than the ET was the 145 trap!!!!!

I was stunned by this low price. No indication here in Miami that the value was this low.

Mr. Gizmo

You are lucky to have the extra special lingenfelter test mule that was ridden with a velvet saddle and kicked with spurs cushioned by a coating of feathers.

DarkKnightZ

Then this one must have been rode hard and put up wet. Very few pictures of it anywhere. Perhaps it wasn't all sparkles and unicorn farts up close.

Sounds like yours is the one to have!

Its not luck....... I'm happy with my purchase

Nice!
