... for $151k at auction last month.

It was a super low mile (I want to say 11?) vert with red guts.

Condition 1+, still had the plastic on the seats.

1996 GSs do very well in general. Vert with red guts is the most desired, though all are desired.

it busted the presale estimate by $25k.

This is the highest any C4 has sold for, ever. At least publicly.

Well, Kissimee was the place to sell it - for a lot of the NCRS folks, that isn't a lot of money for a really nice, very low mileage Corvette, even if we see it as a ton of money for a C4. Different calibration ...

Oh, I am well aware of the different calibration - that was what I was trying to point out.

This one sale could have a trickle down on all C4s... Think about this for a moment - your NCRS original gem is now increased in value 10%, perhaps.

Once one collector unasses real money for a marque, then all bets are off.

I personally think that any Grand Sport purchase is a good investment right now. I will qualify that by saying that original cars are good investments. Those that have been customized might not do as well.
Also - GREAT TO SEE THE SITE UP AND RUNNING AGAIN!
