2012 IBM ZL1 for sale?!

[Southern Comfort]

Dealer webpage already marked this as sold.

This would be one of two stick cars, one of four IBMs total. All were pre-production, i.e., C97997xx series.
Some cars from this series were show, some for press and VIPs, and others for test. I estimate 69 cars were built in this series.

This one had the CTF sticker in the Daytona pics, so it should have clocked several thousand miles before GM sold it.

Ctf cars are future classics they are limited .

I thought this was a CTF car and not meant to be sold?! Is this legit? Talking to wife about it now.

Yes CTF cars can indeed be sold to the public. I don't remember the specifics of what the CTF car would have to go through as far as making it saleable, but I personally know of one that a local person bought.

He's a lucky guy ,^^^^ I would like to own a ctf zl1 but nevertheless, I'm in love with # 251 .

[super60]

I cannot see the ad , but if it is indeed an IBM ZL1 it is very rare !! Very cool find for the lucky new owner

[Zacks2ssl99]

I'm selling a 2013 zl1 with 3,200 miles for $48,850

[el ess A]

I personally wouldn't pay a premium for a CTF. I am quite sure the car will STILL be a losing proposition as an investment. It's still a ZL1 and it's cool, but if I wanted an IBM ZL1, though, I'd jump on the deal because it would be what I wanted, not because of some paint color. And I'm not sold on someone's opinion only that it will be a collectible just because it's a CTF and it's painted IBM.

And does anyone know who bought it? Was is a guy just walked up on the lot, liked the blue, and didn't have a clue or cared about CTF or IBM? Might be parking it outside of his apartment. Who knows?

But let's say it was bought for a collectible for example. My best guess, it'll be worth oh, say 60-65K in the future when/if it gets sold. And if you bought it for the asking price of 58 and stored it away, you'll likely begin losing money in upkeep and storage in about oh, 5 years or so and every year after that. So it would be one of those "Look what I have" cars. Of course, there may be a few that would buy it for more. And that's the people the new owner may be waiting for. I think I could find a better investment for $58K

[Hot Tamales]

SOLD!!

[GoldCartridgeGamer]

I see it sold now. Aw darn.

[360ss]

Yep, I'm willing to bet it was someone on the forum that brought it . Some one did their homework and knew what was sitting there. Keyword "rare". Like my earlier post Said "if you come across a ctf zl1 for sale, buy it".

[BluePhoenix]

I'd pay $58k any day for a 2012 IBM ZL1, but that's just me. One it's rare but two and most importantly it's my favorite 5th gen color.
