Those prices were about 5 yrs ago when Obama was a nobody, & the economy was "GOOD" people could afford to pay that kind of $$..

Now at Barrett Jackson, the L88 "Might" get $750,000 .. I just saw a Yenko Camaro go for $130 k

.. the economy sucks, & I doubt you will see another "Million Dollar" Chevy sold in the near future... JMO

All of the '63 Grand Sport vettes sell in seven digits. There are only a few. Lesst than six....five i think it is.

The C2 L88's usually get to high six figure with some of the rarer ones well into seven numbers.

The are others as well but some NEVER saw market place and public never saw them.
