Glad you are happy with the final result Tim.
For me, $66.5k is so cheap for an LT-1. I know the mystique surrounds the 70 model (I can't help but say "... highest HP small block Chevy ever offered" when describing my car to someone who isn't an afficianado in the classic car world), but there is very little drop off performance wise with the 71; and you don't need to worry about using pump gas. I still think the performance C3s are incredibly underpriced. A really nice restored 69 Lemans Blue Z/28 recently brought $157k on BAT. Nothing wrong with that. Hey, I own a 69 Z, so I am certainly not complaining about Z prices. But I also own a 70 LT-1. Assuming you are just carrying yourself, or yourself and a passenger, for a joy ride, the LT-1 is twice the car. Better power. Better handling. Better brakes. It wins every category other than seat count. I get the "pull on the heart strings" factor on the first gen Z. It is what I wanted so bad in high school. Vette's were off the table for most HS students, as they were essentially uninsurable. That "pull" has carried over for many enthusiasts for decades, and even been passed down to the next generation. Having said all of that, the LB Z bringing nearly 2.5 times what this magnificent survivor brought just seem wrong. One commentor referred to your sale as "well sold". I have to disagree. It was well bought. Kudos to you for having the stones to go no reserve. Nice to know there are still some gentlemen left in the hobby (and there are a lot of them, many of whom hang our here).
