The car in the video reminded me of the old Can-Am days.☺️ It was run what ya brung with few rules.

That's what we did with boats, river racing. Put spray paint marks on the inside of the highway guardrails along the river. 13 hundred and 20 feet, run what you brung was like a Bible verse I'll never forget.

I wonder what this means -

Considering the cost of parts today ($20 half shaft bolts, see previous thread), this 2+2 might be worth collecting just for that purpose. It runs, but has a 4 speed. Looks like an R200 also.

The guys with the money, so funny. If they had their way people would have to pay to comment on the cars. The high end BaT car auctions are more like a big money poker game. Who's bluffing who. They don't want to know until the sale is over.

They are really pumping up the roadster conversion Z. The latest comment suggests it's worth over $200,000. Weird stuff. Looks like it already sold once with the 454, although internet data might not be reliable.

200k seems like a stretch.

I like it but it wouldn't be worth the cost of admission to me

It continues. Bid with confidence!

Just posting for amusement. People can spend any way they want to. It does seem like there are small cliques of car collectors out there that buy and sell to/from each other. Interesting.

200,000!

- 139,500

= 60,500

All that hype in the BaT comments and it didn't even get near six-digit territory.

For about that same amount of money I'd rather have a C-7 Z06 LZ3 convertible. Similar horsepower and you get a heater, A/C, audio system and a functional convertible top.
