Thats right guys. Just a few hours ago this '91 rolled off the block in AZ for $43,200. I think this could be a new record for third gen Camaros?

That just shows you how insanely overpriced the Barret-Jackson auction is. That car would prolly get $20,000 anywhere else. Its 1 of 500 built. Thats not that rare. I personally would rather waste 40 grand on a '04 ZO6

 

She's a beauty but I agree that's not going to be the norm for now.At auctions people get caught up in the moment too.Original sticker on the car list just over $17k.

 

I just got home and saw that.....WOW ...and my father said my 3rd gen is worthless

 

I just saw this. it actually sold for $40,000 even. seems waaaaaaay over priced for me. I still like my car better and don't have half that amount on money in it.

 

Yeah but you have to remember the 8% buyer premium that is added to that figure which brings us to 43200.

 

1 of 478 with 78 miles on it.

No worse than the '87 Grand National that went for 32k with 15,000 miles.

Only bad thing is, they need to get people on there that know what they are talking about "If this car had come with the 5-speed, it would have been known as a California Highway Patrol built car, but since it has the 4-speed, it was built for road racing"

 

Also, the on-screen description called it a 305, and the announcer said it was a 5.7 Dunno whose right, but someone's wrong.

 

I don't see a TV cable on that throttle bracket, so I'm inclined to believe it's a 305 5 speed car.

It's nice to see that there is starting to be enough interest in thirdgen cars for that vehicle to pull that kind of cash, even though outside of Barret Jackson it wouldn't go for nearly that much.

 

There is one on it, you may think the one you see is the cruise cable but the 1LE cars didn't have cruise. Plus I know it can be added, but the back says 5.7 Tuned Port Injection

 

I didn't see the auction, but was that girl up in the buyer's face with her ***** bouncing everywhere? Shoot, that'll make anybody bid more than a car is worth..... How could you not?

She was right there jiggling last year when that Olds one-off dream car went for $3,000,000.

 

3 words: Sam Pierce Chevrolet. I understand it was Sam Pierce Chevy or one of their agents that made the buy. They have been known for years for buying 1LEs, B4Cs, etc.

 

That just shows us that the guy selling it knew what he was doing

 

why do they buy all them for?

 

I assume for resale be it thru the dealership or thru one of their
wholesalers. Many of the acquisitions show up in Hemmings or
other sales venues.

 

I don't thinks it's fair to campare the 1LE to the '87 GN....
Low mile documented GN's are pulling big bucks. GN's had a lot going for them rigjht off the start.
This is all just my .02.

THe second cable is there, but it runs under the plenum runners on the LH side, it does not go through the loops. I can see it barely.

THe one obvious cable is for the Throttle... Obviously.
