Cmon, 185k? a real black 69 small block z28 with 10k miles would do more than that.

I HONESTLY don't think it will go much more than that! I was wrong on the Bullitt Mustang too, so I'm good with being wrong. I'm not set to spend that type of $$$ on a car yet. Especially with the CND exchange rate at the moment.

This is the one of the reasons I joined THIS site. To keep up with the market on high end real cars. I have been surprised both high and lower on cars pricing. TO ME, I wouldn't pay the $185,000 I lost more than that last week in the markets. That's fine if others think it's worth more. It only take 2 to drive the price up, I just know I wouldn't be one of that 2.

John, I've seen one go for more than that and it wasn't a convertible, no stripes either. Theres a group of people out there who pay what it takes to get special cars.

I just bought another one of those green 4800 pound 1969 427 Caprices. LOL

HEY Bud, long time no talk, HOW ARE THINGS GOING, STILL SWAMPED!!!!!

I know people PAY for what they like/want. A buddy of mine dropped LARGE for a '68 Hemi RR. WAY more than I thought it was worth. BEAUTIFUL car with an over-the-top rest. BUT B5 blue on blue with column auto to me, isn't worth what I would pay. He likes it, it's his money and I have no problem with that.

I do think this market is shrinking. Some may agree or some may disagree. It's a free country. YES Unicorn's like the Bullitt car and some others like a '71 convert Hemi E body will always comand big big $$$.

Now this Chevelle @ $185,000?? I wouldn't pay that myself as I would rather have something else for that much $$$. That's just my thoughts and opinion. This Chevelle doesn't appeal to me personally. That's fine, and just my thoughts. I would want to drive it, and that would drastically effect it's future value. Just not my cup of tea.

John

P.S. 427 Caprice UMMM. Must be lightened to only be 4800 with a 427!!!!!!!!!!! LOL
All the best bud. Keep up the great work.

Yes it would, there have been multiple offers of more than that for the old black 69 RS Z I played with 10-15 years ago.

IMHO the auto and the lack of D88 hurts the car, just like it hurt the Black LS6 DAVE BEEM had with 4,300 miles. Black on black sans ZL2 and Stripes will depress the value no matter the miles.
There is a 1000 mile black 69 RS/Z without stripes, cowl induction or endura... PRICED the same I would take the 45k mile non matching numbers car I was the care taker of VS the 1000 mile car because of the aesthetic appeal of stripes cowl induction and VE3.

Dave's 4300 mile black LS6 didn't have stripes, did have a M22. So how much did it actually hurt the selling price?

A real low mile black 69 Z RS Z/28 M22 410 Posi car with options might break 185K, but it's also a bit of a Unicorn in itself and doesn't need an auction to get it sold. That and it's got Stripes and a STICK!

I could be light and while no expert on Vert's or Chevelle's I have seen enough anomalies to throw out my guess and I'll stick by it. On a stretch I would have said 200K but that's it. Auto to me really holds it back. But what do I know?
