I was told the Mecum auction set the new prices on ZL1's

Thats until the next aucion. Might be 200k by next auction the way the economy is going.
I always figured in the rarity/"gotta-have one" factor though for a car like a ZL-1. A collection of the best Chevy musclecars of all time (or any make for that matter)is not complete without a ZL-1. Some people amass such great collections that they "gotta-have" a ZL-1. Lets face it, there are only some 43? or so known in the world.
If you gotta have a ZL-1, you better buy one when it is available..and you better hope another guy is not at the auction that just "gotta-have" it too!!! There is usually not another one coming up on the block the same day. Unlike most of the musclecars, it may be your only chance for a while.
I think the owner of the 2 ZL-1's may have made a mistake by selling two at the same time. I would have sold the yellow car first...and then at a different time/auction sold the blue car...jmo
Less face it, a lot of people have in recent years spent way more for a car than what it was really worth.
If only I could tell the furure
