This guy has/had a 1997 SLP LT4 SS #001, his price was 75k. That is a badass, rare car, but wow!

It should be worth more than the average SS and even LT4 SS, but not 75 large. That is borderline delusional.

 

Rare yes...but to pay $75k is

 

 

Wow that is insane! I would get a zo6 before I even thought about that. I know its rare but damn. Let me see do I want to buy a car or a house lol.

 

Its only worth what people will pay for it. If some rich collector things it will be worth high dollars 30 years from now they might jump on 75K as a bargain. IMO, from an average poor guys point of view, its waaayyy overpriced .

Methinks its $40K for the car and $35K for the cool SLP schwag

 

I thought so, I remember seeing one of these cars in a dealership in '98 still sitting there with a high 26k+ price tag on it.

Check this out, although I'm pretty sure it's not one of the uber rare 97 LT-4's.

rare 1 of 100 lt4 ss 42k new in 97 my friend has #75 i cant see spending more than 30k on a mint low mileage Lt4 SS

 

did you not read what he said?!?! it was 001.. the first lt4 ss built for this year!!! **** ya its worth that to a collector!!! in 20-30 years this car will go for prolly 450,00 plus

 

everybody said the same things 30 years ago about the low mile z28s mint condition and about the yenkoes and the rare cars and look what they are going for now days!!! this car is def a collector piece!!! and worth a lot of money

 

Are you serious? $30k for an LT4 SS? That's nutz! This is a collectors car if i've ever seen one. There was only 106 built, and this is #1. This car is worth every penny if you ask me and i bet some true car collector will swoop on it if no one already has! Heck if I had known this car was for sale I would have made a offer for it. I've been dying to own one of these since '97.......

Trust me, whoever buys this car now will be making a wise investment. This car will be worth A LOT MORE than 70-large in 20-25 years!

 

The old stuff is worth money because people did NOT buy them to store them and expect to make money. They drove them and they were crap that was scrapyard material by 100K. That is why those cars are worth money today.

Newer stuff lasts longer and you have asshats like this who thinks cars are investments and I am happy to say they are their own undoing. So many guys trying this crap they stop the value from ever going up much.

If you stop and look at things as an investment cars always lose. If you store a car for 10 years anf get $10K over new you lost your *** compared to actually investing that money. Start figuring storage, insurance, battery, oil tires etc, hell inflation has to be figured too.

Several times a year we see 90s Impala SSs come up for sale with 3000 or less miles. Seems everyone and their brother bought one as an "investment" here they are over a decade later and they can't get the original sale price and could not even before the economy tanked. Since people expected them to gain value too many were stored and that stopped the value from climbing. Funny as hell, those are the guys trying to make the hobby too expensive for the true enthusuiast.

 

Have you ever owned a real Muscle Car?


Ever heard of a GNX?


Four door cars just don't fit the mold of a good investment car. There is no way that you can compare an Impala to an LT4 F-Body. They are not even in the same zip code!

 

i agree with gizmo. a while back on ebay, a never titled gnx was up for auction. i believe the auction ended for over 100 grand. but then again, the car had been on a showroom floor from the day it was shipped to the dealer.

 

ummm try close to 300-450k

 

i strongly disagree!!! and yes you may but those cars arent for one 1 of 100 and for 2 not the first one built of them!! this is an extremely rare car

also the new cars are just as much of throw aways as the older ones were..

 

Excuse me, but....
AAAAAAAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAA
BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAAHAHHAAH AHAHAHA
GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHHAHA HHHAHAA
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAAHHA H

YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS!!!

It is NOT a "rare car." It's nothing more than a 4th generation f-body on a 3rd generation chassis. How is that rare? Sure the numbers make it worth a little more, but that's it. Nothing more. There is nothing that separates this "OMG 001" w/ any other orange striped SS...
There are a billion f-bodies that are still operational on the road which makes this car nothing out of the ordinary.

 

You're nuts if you think that car will go for 450+ in 30 years!!! Maybe over a hundred if it is kept in mint condition but not much more.

 

How much does a 1st gen. Yenko Camaro go for? That should remove all doubt about a ~half-million dollar 4th gen f-body real quick...

 

Ok, I correct myself it will go for 450K in 30 years with the way our dollar is going as due to inflation that may be the same as 100Kish.

Conparing a Yenko to the 4th gen SS is no way near the same. Just look at the base model production #'s for the 70's vs 90's as even if this was one of a 100 there was still way more base models produced which should bring down the value a tad.
