Thursday in Palm Beach there were several C-4's that were sold and I happened to catch the 88 going accross the block. It was intersting to hear the comments from Mike Joy and the other commentators regarding C4's in general. They discussed are the C-4's finally getting the "collector" status for some of the models. As the 88 went accross Joy commented that he thought the C-4s were good cars at the time and thought the 88, 35th anniv car would bring more since there was only 2000 built. This car had less than 700 miles and was just like it was off of the show room. They showed the window sticker and Joy commented on that Chevy did NOT put HP on the sticker just 5.7 litre, almost like he was indicating GM must have been embarassed about the HP of the 88 Vette.
They also mentioned a 40th that sold earlier in the day and that it did not bring $20k and the 88 was bringing more than double what the 93 did, one of them mentioned that only 2000 35th's were built and 1 in 3 of the 93's were 40th car's. (Is that right?)
Anyways below is a list of the C-4's that sold on Thursday. The first day tends to bring out the "lower" dollar car's and I see there ar not any C-4's today or Saturday. All prices include the 10% buyers premium.
88 35th Anniv. car 686 Miles $41250
94 Admiral Blue "first built in 94" (was GM car) $23650
90 ZR-1 27K Miles $22,000
94 Admrial Blue, 17K Miles, $17600
93 40th Convertable, 53K miles, $16775
Personally, I thought the 88 went higher than I thought, but it was basicly a showroom car, someone put it in a bag to keep it for 21 years. Also I thought the ZR-1 went for less than I thought but I did NOT see it cross the block so I dont know the full story.
Any thoughts or other comments?
