Back door Deal.... Still smells fishy. It was front and center for the last 3 years plus. The prices were way off on stuff....

and a low price on a very nice Z16. Odd. That Z16 should have gone way higher. The 69 Judge had all kinds of wrong with it and it got a big number

I agree with Frank that the Z16 was very fairly purchased compared to so many other cars that went for large sums. I’ve been there twice and many cars were not top shelf restorations.

Crazy prices. I was there in 2019 and looked at all of these cars. 69 Judge is my favorite car so I spent a lot of time checking it out. There was absolutely nothing that screamed $180k+ for that car. Low option car that didn't really blow me away.

$117k for the 2002 ZL1 seems crazy to me too. Especially for an automatic.

I remember seeing the McDorman 2002 ZL1 selling for 97.500 in 2010. They fired that up and you could hear it over everything across the parking lot.

Interesting. I read Ken’s bio that was in with the ZL1 paperwork at the Musclecar City auction. I believe the it stated that Ken was a GMI student at the Tonawanda engine plant (which is located in Tonawanda - not Rochester) starting in 1968. I was also a GMI student sponsored, for part of my curriculum, out of the Tonawanda complex. I’m a little older than Ken, but we should have crossed paths at Tonawanda. We all met in John Hamacher’s office occasionally. Do you know what Ken’s job(s) were at Tonawanda during the 70s? Just wondering how, as a student, he had “hands on” knowledge of the ZL1 program. Wondering also why Ken feels that “it seems that this didn’t happen” (ZL1 engines weren’t returned to Tonawanda).
I'm aware of Ken's assignments later in his career - just focusing on the ZL1 production period when Ken was only at the plant 1/2 of the time, and even then as a co-op student.
