Ferrari Mailing List: Re: NFC: Camaro SS post mortem

[Tom Reynolds (kjtar]

Brian showed me (well, he emailed me) some auction prices, and you and ClYde
should get together!  :)  I did searches on intellichoice (my favorite) and
even KBB and they came out with a Retail price of around $9500 or so.  Also
ran it on KBB and came up with just about the same thing.  But, ran it on
NADA and they said it should Retail for around $12k+.  Since then I've found
out (from SLP Engineering's Joey) that there were some additonal things on
this car that make it worth more to me than perhaps it would be to the
marketplace in general.  But, yeah, if I can get around paying $10K, I will.
Thanks,
Tom
