Million $$ Vettes

Share this page

I don't know anything about Vettes, but if I was going to spend that $$$$ on a car, there are a lot of others I would buy first. Look at his other Ebay cars...all start at 150k. You'd think they were big Healeys.
 
Looks like someone has been watching Barrett Jackson
 
I can't see it, 500K apiece for them. Nice cars now doubt, and with some rare options and racing history, but thats a bit much.

My dad had a '63, it was his third vette. After seeing what they go for today he wishes he still had it.
 
Saw a '62 IN TAMPA TRAFFIC(!) last Thursday... Car looked quite nice, too.
 
ProTeam is a joke. They advertise Corvettes as "matching numbers," but in their catalogs they define matching numbers as matching CASTING Numbers on the engine -- they do not check numbers on heads, manifolds, rear ends or trannies.

NOW as for these cars: In 1963, 199 cars were produced with the Z06 package, which included (for most of the year) knock-off wheels and the 36 gallon fuel tank. 63 cars had just the 36 gallon fuel tank.

These are not million-dollar cars. A Z06 with racing history could bring $250K away from Barrett Jackson, but this is stupid. The one-of-two AC/Tanker is like saying my '99 which was one of four Silver C5s with 6spd, Z51, active handling and heads-up display was somehow worth 10X a standard optioned car. (Allstate said it was worth maybe a grand more when they totalled it!)

Nah... I think they're nuts, or their customers might be.

Lets buy a couple of Ferraris, paint 'em both red and sell 'em as "bookends" for $20 million. Then we could retire to the Lesser Antilles, eh? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/yesnod.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif
