you can roll that thing through barrett jackson all day long and it will probably bring low 2s. all because of the nameplate.

145k and reserve not met. someone prob set the reserve high though to see what it could bring though. i agree it is a little absurd to pay that much. but the value of something is what someone is willing to pay for it.

A beautiful, completely resored, '69 COPO 427 Camaro replica went for $49k at barrett jackson last night. It may be a replica, but it is a much better buy IMO. Of course I only care about driving them, not showing them.

It’s all about the value you attach to exclusivity. Like SixSpeed said, a sexy replica just went for $49k, but SP71 worked with an original that ended up at $400k. There is something cool about owning a real piece of history, though I agree that personally, I would rather have a replica driver…but then I’m not a billionaire.

If you want a driver then sure its a good deal… although, I would take off the Yenko badges and just roll the SS or Z package… that would be domestic rice to me… to be rollin down the road with the Yenko badges, fuck that!
