Selfishly, I hope it hammers for millions and millions!

But it if I had to guess, I’d guess around $50k-$70k if the right people are in the crowd. But I’m not sure if collectors care enough about these convertible LT-1’s yet. Big blocks are what the cool kids are buying.

Heres a link for those that are wondering which car you’re asking about: https://www.barrett-jackson.com/Even...ERTIBLE-223667

So if I remember correctly, I think this car sold for over 100k a few years back. It is a real, documented, un-restored low mileage car with multiple judging awards. I see typically LT-1 convertibles from 45k-65k depending on originality, documentation and level of restoration......

That's a crazy number, I thought it would go for 6 figures. In reality it maybe the lowest mileage, documented and un-restored c3 LT-1 convertible out there. It only takes two buyers to make the bids go crazy sometimes.
