Absolutely!!! As I mentioned before on another thread. VW 21 window bus, $265,000.00 at the Barrett auction a week or so ago!! In the big name auctions, anything is possible. Best wishes!

99' Nassau Blue convertible. 62,000 miles. Last June a neighbor keeps walking by asking if I want to sell. One day I said to him, how much will you give me? He says $21,500. I am a little taken back and not sure where he got that amount from. He definitely knows a lot about the car because he is always asking questions. Told him I would think about it.
Finally told him no I was going to keep the car. I looked for two years to find the right Vette and certainly do not want to start that process over again. I did not buy this car as an investment or to flip it, it means too much to me right now.

There's a good possibility that you are two doors down from ET

Part of my lunch routine is catching up on Bring a Trailer and seeing what is going on there and some of the values of those cars are starting to take off.
$22,000 would take my car in a heartbeat.

Have you been tracking the resale values of air cooled 911s these days? Even the less desirable 80's models are jumping HUGE.

I think back to my teenage years, and the Boss 429 Mustangs, the COPO 427 Camaros, and the winged Charger Daytonas. They were a "tough sell" back then, as their sticker prices were 20-25% above the price of a garden variety Mustang, Camaro, or Charger. Dealers that thought they'd be "easy money" wound up DYING to move them, and many sat on their lots for close to a year.
These days, those cars sell for $$$$$$$$$.

That's a huge offer for a '99...for that you could turn around and buy an '01 or newer with less miles and still have money left over...

I rarely disagree with you ET, however, even though the color combination is exceedingly rare, there is little else to separate this car from any other low mileage 97. I like fairway green and have seen a few of them (I owned a DBGM for awhile), but the red interior just does nothing for me, and I suspect very few others, despite it's rarity.
