Headed to the auction tomorrow morning. I really don't think the prices will be going up for a long time. Market is still soft for the common car.

2024 C3 of the Year Finalist - Unmodified

See my post #39 in this thread. Is unrestored "worth" more than restored?

http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c3-g...-is-the-2.html

Put me down for a no sale at $325k.

A real black/black 69 L88 with its original motor should be near the 400k range.

The reserve went off at $515k. Evidently the hypothesis stands and I am truly amazed. Unrestored "Survivor" quality rare cars are worth more than their restored or over-restored counterparts. So much for the lousy economy in the rest of the United States...at least down in Texas things are going well and the rich still have plenty of money to burn. God bless America.
