Unrestored, original cars usually don’t need to be auctioned. Auction cars are virtually always restored. However, there will be three excellent original examples at Mecum Indy.
Does not include cross-ram or JL-8 cars.
Using 2022-2024 auction data from Barrett-Jackson, Mecum and GAA here’s the results:
Z/28 50 examples average sale w/fee $110,721
24 sales were over six figures including $275k and $220k. The $295k Powder Blue Z/28 at B-J Scottsdale 2022 was not included
Z/28-RS 27 examples average sale w/fee $105,926
15 sales were over six figures
I don’t go into a lot of detail but note obvious flaws. These are comments seen for cars under six figures.
-nom
-black grille
-houndstooth seats/standard interior
-headers
-X33 trim added to X77 car
-T-10 trans
-obvious amateur restoration
Not much variance between the years.
