Yeah those C2's are getting way outa range. Even the NOM one's I've seen are asking $25,000+. I'd have to sell one of the kids and still be about $24,000 short. :D :lol:

Ahhhhh, yes it can. Another one of the '67 L-88s was recently bid up to $900,000 and did NOT sell due to a higher reserve.

Remember, they only built 20 L-88s in 1967. A cherry 1967 L-88 (with complete and verifiable documentation) is now approaching $1Million.

Do you happen to have the invoice/sticker price of that vette in 1967? I realize that there were only 20 built, but I want to make everyone sick for not upgrading to a big block in the 60's when they bought the car new. A '69 427 was not that much more expensive than the newly founded 350 version. I have a friend who is still kicking himself for not spending a few more bucks when he bought his '69 off the show room floor.

"Holy poopie , to hell with the 401k I'm gonna buy a C2 to sell for retirement."

Recently, I passed on a well-kept rust-free XKE roadster with air and original engine for $32-35,000. Something tells me that in years to come I will regret that decision. I bet in 3-10 years it will be worth $50,000; and that's not counting the value of the pleasure I would have by owning it.

All I can do is laugh at that top one. $500k? Some people clearly have more money than brains
