R6P car here- VIN 11518..... not too low

2010 SS RS · 06-08-2009, 04:40 PM

After watching just about every barrett jackson auction the only real valuable vin numbers are the first and last of a production series. This was shown at the last Mercum auto auction in Indy. The last Cuda ever produced pulled down big bucks. The condition and overall number of units produced is the real value determining factor. Now with that said. Those that have what we consider low vin numbers will probably take great care of them and they will naturally be worth more. Sure if you have all documents that too is a bonus. R6P might add to the story but I have not seen it cause a higher auction price. I think to all the enthusiests we all know that our situation and pre-order process has been unique but will it prove worth money in 25 to 30 years....probably not IMO Of course I am saying this cause mine is 8874 and not low by any stretch of the imagination....lol

Rallyman6 · 06-08-2009, 06:46 PM

I would say under 10000 is still low ... cause i am 7157

any R6P - we are the ones who really waited for this car IMHO
As stated before - R6P on the window sticker and low number is the key.

I guess we'll find out in 30 years.

I agree with you completely. If these are to be worth anything down the line, I can't help but think the R6P is going to carry alot of weight. There were only so many of us that took a blind chance on GM in these troubled times. While it would have been nice to have had one of the first 100, or at least the first 1000. The fact of the matter is that even people with higher numbers (me) are still part of a relatively small group...the R6P group!

Guys, just keep that paperwork in good shape!

Maybe sooner if they stop making muscle cars in a few years.

With that being said they probably made roughly 50-75 before starting customer cars. So many vin 075-1075 maybe? thats just my opinion.
Obviously the first few cars; 2010; 666; 5 - those would all be worth more cause of their number but these are all guesses.

At least I hope so since i'm number #1002

Just my opinion.

I have to agree...

Won't matter to me....I'm being buried in this car...

tcslc · 06-09-2009, 01:37 PM

As noted before, VIN 001 and the last one made (hopefully in 20 years

) will pull more money as will the first 2SS, first 1SS, etc (if it can be verified as the first). Anything else, IMO, will be "interesting" but I don't think a low VIN alone will bring significantly more money - maybe just slightly more to a buyer that considers the low VIN an important factor. RP6 with all the documentation, letters, etc from GM will likely pull more money, but I'd guess less than 5% of value. Options will be king, with 2SS and 1SS manuals leading the pack, followed by automatics and then the 6 cylinder models significantly behind. Bold colors, two-tone interiors, rare options (GFX, $4k wheel package, etc), and documentation is what will bring the money years down the road. But that's so far away, better to just enjoy the car today and if it happens to be worth something years from now, then all the better. As the car guy adage goes, if you were dating a hot model, would you save her for the next guy? Same with the car - drive it!

the more optioned for example factory stripe, red jewel metalic cars, r6p codes, factory messups,time n condtion play a big role and of course mileage.
