I think you're jumping to conclusions about the point I was trying to make. I never said those prices were impossible, just not the norm. You're a dealer which I clearly stated in my first point has benefits that we as private buyers do not get. You mentioned two cases where a car can be had for a steal: a dealer that is finally willing to dump or car, or a cash strapped private owner. Absolutely, but these aren't the bulk of sales and does take the patience to find those killer deals which is what I said the OP may have to do to get a good deal, or cough up more cash if he wants one immediately. Sounds like we're actually on the same page here.
Regarding overall value, I never stated any numbers myself and I definitely never said anything about expectations of increasing in value or not depreciating. It's still just a car and it will continue to depreciate every year and finding ZR1's is easy with 4800 or so made. However, the OP wanted a low mileage Inferno Orange of which only 69 were made. Of those 69, maybe half are past 10-15k mileage (I'm at 21k myself), and of those still with low miles, there are only a handful for sale over the course of a year. We probably have 5-10 IO ZR1 owners here on the forum and every one of us has stated we would not sell ours for anything even close to the numbers the OP was hoping for. Trying to buy a single owner garage queen car that has never seen rain from an owner that isn't looking to sell it is going to cost more than a random, common color car purchased at auction with 4 previous owners.
In addition, I had the strong impression that the OP didn't want to wait for a good deal like RidgeRunner and his 2 years of hunting for his AO. So if there are 30 cars in the US that meet your requirements and you want to buy one this month, the odds of having one pop up for a record breaking price is pretty slim. Not impossible, but unlikely. That's all I was saying. Circumstances mean everything here.

AND I did get a deal !!!, the owner I bought from was the original owner, and I got a KERBECK Poster framed with the car along with any paperwork.........garage kept, 100% stock, no stories.
But at the end of the day I was prepared to pay more to get it, I just got lucky and did not have to pay more than $60K.
So now I either have to make a decision to drive it more and rack up miles or drive one of my other 2 more to keep miles off it, but having driven the ZR1 the 427 cars just don't cut it anymore.
