Well, I think it is on consignment.

Some one spent a s___ ton of money on a car that "might have been a 427."

Still, I thought it was interesting, so posted it. :)

My race car left the states with an L-88, raced in Germany with the L-88 and then a ZL-1 but that doesn`t make it an L-88 or a ZL-1 Corvette, Rick Hendrick`s $1.1 million dollar Owens-Corning race car was taken off the line at GM and built into a race car it raced with an L-88 motor (probably more than one) it`s not an L-88 Corvette but a Corvette with an L-88...there is a difference

Yeah, funny how things get valued. I think it was you that said the value of an old race car depends on who sat in it.

I'm just guessing, but on that consignment tribute car, the original owner dumped all the money into it and now it's up for sale or it was/is part of an estate.

Here is something that happened to me last week. I've been selling stuff I am never going to use. Agreed to drop off a set of 10x15 3.5 in backspace rally wheels locally for advertised price. The buyer owned a nice gen 1 z28 and an old c3 race car he picked up years ago. Apparently the Vette was a shell when he got and it looked ready to run again.

He'd owned the z28 something like 40 years.

no pics of the race car?
 
No, no photos. I was just there dropping off the wheels for the z28. The wheels on the Camaro were old school rims that were cut and widened with hoops/barrels welded in.

Maybe next year I'll start going to vintage races and get photos & video. Won't have a race car, unless I hit the powerball jackpot.
 
Drag race accident. They always say c2 aero wanted to lift the nose.

 
Winters quick change rear from RTS. Yeah, not vintage but…
