BJ Auctions is purely entertainment, they have absolutely ZERO baring on a car's value what so ever, in the auction world I don't think anyone takes it seriously.

It was for charity and whatever car they use for that always brings BIG MONEY.No bearing on actual value. Great what they do for charity though.A Z06 went over the auction just before the end and it had a Lambo paint job and 70 some od grand in mods...selling price?? 90 GRAND! That guy got a hell of a car at a hell of a price as long as he can live with that lime green lambo paint job.

For those who did not follow the auction...it was a '16 Z06, VIN #1. Yes, it was for charity. If the car is not driven, it will NEVER go down in value. Every VIN #1 Corvette in history has skyrocketed in value.
I have never heard BJ Auctions claim that their vehicle values have any bearing on daily drivers. So, you are correct, they have no bearing on YOUR car, or MY car, but they are 100% spot on for the vehicle they were selling, as proven by the bid amount. If you were to own a vehicle that is identical in EVERY regard to one that sold on BJ for "X" amount, yours undeniably has a similar value, if sold at a BJ auction. To say otherwise is to dismiss the auction results entirely. Yes, it is entertainment, and it is also reality.
It is not intended to imply that your C7 is worth $500,000, nor anyone else's.
BJ auction vehicles have little bearing on values of normal, street-driven cars. But, those are not the cars for sale. You have to compare apples to apples...

I bought one of the C7.R covers and mine is car #3. The one shown at B-J is #4 and all the internet sites that show the covers for sale all have the #4 illustrated as well. There was no number choice given with the part number when my dealer ordered it so I'm not sure if they made both and it's just random whatever they send?
