Most '85 owners think they have an 8.8 rear. It just seems to a problem with '85 owners thinking the 85 and 86's carried more in common than they are.

Yeah, I don't know where he got the number from. They never had a number....but it's not like I haven't seen people pull numbers for their cars out of thin air before either.

This is a nice looking, sharp car, but I question if it was assembled at Autry Lane. I feel it was assembled at the selling dealer. If it was sold at NorthTown they would have all the parts to build it. The buck tags and a Marti report would clear up any questions.

If I was laying down the money that the car is currently going for, I would put the sale pending verification it was built at Autry Lane, rather than NorthTown.

Does anybody else find it strange that there was a "flurry" of bid activity on the first day of the auction, roughly, all the way up to.....
what they're asking for the car in its online ad?

Things that make you go, hmmmmm !

Sounds like a NT car for sure in the photo of appraisal it says car was recently purchased from org owner of 29 years it would be nice to talk to org owner to document this history of how car started life! In any case a fantastic car!

Bids fall when they fall guys there's no baseline for that!

Lot of bidding activity and sold for $17,500.00.

Hope my 24,000 mile,. garage kept '86 vert does somewhere near that when I put it up. That would be great!

I agree. I have a 1 of 1, 7600 mile 90 vert that I have been thinking about selling.

90's are quite rare but they go head to head with the Mustang GT's. iI think that kind of holds the price down, but with that low a mileage you might score big. Thinking about putting mine in the Mecum Auction, in Kissimmee, in January. But it would have to be at a prime buying time and that costs a LOT of $$$$. SELL OR NOT.
