I was at Mecum/ Kissimmee in Jan. and two ZR-1's did strong money there. 1990 Red/Red 11,000 miles #2 cond. $30K
1991 Black/Black 1400 miles (did not look at car) $35K

Is another car with 37,XXX worth only $16.5K? I think not, wrong place at the wrong time.

Also, Has the BJ "all at no reserve" deal lost it's punch?

I'm also a fan of Mecum. Their cars are more realistic of what you would the average guy (read: me!) would be able to buy and drive.

BJ is ok I guess, it's just that how many First Gen Camaros, Mid Year Corvettes and Hemi Cudas can you watch sell in one broadcast before getting bored? Oh look, it's another 69 Camaro....wow.
