Would I personally pay that for it? No. But to a hardcore Chevy/Dale Earnhardt collector, that car, with its low miles and rare-ness (is that a word), it may be worth that. I don't know anything about that specific cars "collectability", but if it is only 1 of 3, and it is a option package that could be ordered/delivered, and its authenticity can be verified, it is entirely possible its worth that. I've seen less go for more.....

Yep it's just a collector's vehicle. It's not worth that unless you just have to have it.

I'd pay $20K and not a penny more. It's just a new LT1 in my eyes.

the problem with collector's vehicles is that they only retain their value if you leave them stock.

There is no real collector value to this car. It was a dealership promotion. Three probably reflects the level of interest.

The owner bought and saved it, not really understanding the collector car market. A '57 Chevy is worth a lot...and it isn't '1 of 3'.

It is unfortunate, he could have driven a really nice Camaro for the past 10 years. Pre-LS1 though.
