I think it went a little low... but I'm happy (and sad) to see it move on.
Looks like a great and very rare car, but $17,500 is a lot of money for an f-body IMO. That is well into C5 territory (and a C5 will destroy a 1LE in just about every measurable way).
Glad it sold (and I hope the buyer doesn't flake on you like so many on ebay).
Glad you think it went for a lot... I thought it was still a bit light. You have to know... they only made 235 1LE Firebirds across 12 years... Chevrolet built more than that in just 1991 alone!
The gentleman who bought the car, buys many firehawks, 1LE's & WS6's... we've spoke on the phone, and all seems good. I think the car brings 25K in just the next few years... just have to find '2 people' who want it!
You can never compare price to different makes... a cadillac STS will bring more than 17.5 also... and can't beat a Maxima! So... when buying and selling performance cars... it's more about 'value & demand'... than just numbers on paper...
There's a certain pride (at least with me) with driving and racing F-bodies vs. Vettes & Vipers... I have raced them all... and for me... the 'crude basics' of F-Body's and Mustangs make the kid in me smile!
Peace!
