I think it was a classic example of two people with a lot of money that both wanted the same car. From what I have heard from people that actually saw the car it was not all that nice.

that is a ton of money, but it is a rare car, no? not many LT-1 convertibles, not many with A/C....this has both, plus highly optioned and desirable color. that being said i would have guessed 100k or maybe a little more...not 200
it looks my '70 LT-1 convertible...same color (well, monza red..close enough), same vinyl hardtop, deluxe interior, and similar options. No A/C of course on the '70 but heck, i'll settle for half of what he got LOL

When this sold that high I sent a link to my insurance underwriter and asked if we could up the agreed valuation on my 71 LT-1 and even highlighted the other desirable options the auction car had, vert, AC etc. They said get back to us when it becomes a trend and not a one-off. I think I'll be waiting a while to see that value again..
