We've run with this Z at many rallies and events over the last 5 years. Z Car Garage modified, upgraded and maintained since 2018 acquisition by BaT:

Very cool Alvin!

Sadly, I got distracted and just missed the close of the auction. It sold for $124,240.
I was soooo ready to go to $124,250 …

Is that a record for a Z?

You would certainly think so, but nope. This one was:

This auction was for charity ( a great one), I think the Z would probably hit ~40-50k if it was just a standard auction.

While that is a strong number for a Z, I was referring to the green one that went for more than twice that amount. The thing about auctions is that you never know what is the flavor of the day. What does amazing in one auction, may fall on it's face in another.
