BJ Auction 72 LT-1 Convertible With A/C
 

Was I dreaming or did I really see a Red 72 LT-1 Convertible with A/C sell for $180,000.00?

Looked on the Palm Beach results don't see it

How about this one, $203,500!:eek:

I would not believe it in a hundred years. No mention of mileage, not original paint. There is nothing special about this car to make it a 200k plus buy.

I couldn't believe it either./.. I figured it had to have been a ZR1, but it's not!

Some folks have way too much play money.

I think it was a classic example of two people with a lot of money that both wanted the same car. From what I have heard from people that actually saw the car it was not all that nice.

that is a ton of money, but it is a rare car, no? not many LT-1 convertibles, not many with A/C....this has both, plus highly optioned and desirable color. that being said i would have guessed 100k or maybe a little more...not 200

it looks my '70 LT-1 convertible...same color (well, monza red..close enough), same vinyl hardtop, deluxe interior, and similar options. No A/C of course on the '70 but heck, i'll settle for half of what he got LOL

Watched it sell. Was NOT that nice of a Corvette. It did have a repaint & interior was not all that nice. Don't know what the deal was. ED Foss's 70 LT-1 with less than 10,000 MI only brought a little over half that much. Same colors & vinyl hard top.

Don't think race cars have AC.

When this sold that high I sent a link to my insurance underwriter and asked if we could up the agreed valuation on my 71 LT-1 and even highlighted the other desirable options the auction car had, vert, AC etc. They said get back to us when it becomes a trend and not a one-off. I think I'll be waiting a while to see that value again..

Haha..nice try!

they up value to 200k, it catches fire the next day...
