Re: Barrett Jackson to auction ZR1

Word on the local Corvette forums is someone is locked into a ZR-1 for $175K!!

It's NOT the serial #1 that Barrett-Jackson says it has on the line but it may be a hype to drive up the price??

How f'n stupid can you be??

Re: Barrett Jackson to auction ZR1

I would bet that the prices will be like the Ford GT. They were marked up as high as $100K over MSRP.

At least the proceeds benefit charity.
