Yes, Yes... the announcers really needed to have a look under the "bonnet" of that Camaro! What is a bonnet???? Is that the hood or a convertible top???? Learned something new this week... i never knew that a 67 GTO was a uni body!!!!!

Yeah Pete, the '67 unibody GTOs were the only ones that came with 389 tripowers too.

My poor wife not only had to sit through the auction coverage, but had to listen to me rant about the stupidity of the announcers - Alan Decadenet?? I think he should only speak when there is a European car on the block.

Speed Channel needs Tom Shaw on the mic!!

Re: Reggie's ZL1 at Barrett Jackson
 

So did anyone here go to the Auction??

Re: Reggie's ZL1 at Barrett Jackson
 

I'm thinking there needs to be a second audio source televised, kind of like they do with different languages, where you switch your tv over to the second audio source.

You could have the standard audio channel with the patsy's from Speedvision, then the alternate audio channel could be guys from this site in attendance, giving the REAL info on the cars. Kind of like open mike night!

Re: Reggie's ZL1 at Barrett Jackson
 

I can see Reggie wanting a little more since he has to pay such a large commission, but the successful bidder would have had to pay 8% over his bid. At $330K, you'd pay an extra $26,400 and that isn't right either. I'm obviously not the expert here on ZL-1 prices, but a non-original motored ZL-1 for $356,400 seems insane. JMHO.

Re: Reggie's ZL1 at Barrett Jackson
 

Brock is right that the ZL1 Camaros were kind of plain looking as far as no special stripes or emblems but that is one of the most interesting sides to the hi po COPO story. Chevy built them to race not to make a flashy street car.
Out of three Speed Commentators none of them know that Chevy built them for NHRA drag racing? They just make comment like "I don't get it...all it has is an aluminum engine....why is the bidding up to 275K?" [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

Re: Reggie's ZL! at Barrett Jackson

Re: Reggie's ZL! at Barrett Jackson
 

Since Reggies ZL1 was bid to $275K, and Rich P. is asking $300k for the one he's selling, why didn't the ZL1 at World Wide Muscle Cars sell for $160k. It's not listed on their site now, but it seems like it was there for about a year. I heard they paid $120k for it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

Re: Reggie's ZL! at Barrett Jackson
 

I spoke to Reggie about the car on Thursday. He asked me what I felt the car would top out at?-I replied 265.

Reggie said his projected range was between 250 and 330.
