Then, add the heritage, as one of only 24 built by Hendrick Motorsports (a very reputable group) for a special Hertz release. And add that 'Hertz Muscle Cars' do have a history, of being somewhat collectible. I don't think you could get Hendrick Motorsports to build you a Calloway SC750 for $100K... but let us know when you do. These cars will appreciate... especially if they keep moving with <5K miles on them... which will not only make them the rarest Hertz Special Edition ever created... they will also be the ones with the lowest amount of miles on them. Best regards, Dave

https://www.mecum.com/lots/FL0116-22...et-camaro-zl1/ I didn’t ask for a quote because I have no desire to do it. I’m sure you are correct that it is more than 100k and I 100% agree Hendricks Motorsports is the real deal. So absolutely no offense intended etc towards any of those groups. But, the point is anyone with a ZL1 can do this on their own so 1/24 to me is a bit disingenuous. Of course most would pick a much better color scheme so there is that. Edit: I do disagree that a Callaway SC750 would necessarily be worth more than a clean stock ZL1. It seems clean classic stock cars bring more money than modded ones. Even extremely reputable ones etc. Generally speaking of course. |

And I think the paint scheme looks so much better than the Yellow corvettes! Lastly... I still believe having Hendrick buy sell and build 24 of these for Hertz... you can't go wrong with these if you could get one. Heck, imagine the nascar fanboi's that will be drooling over it as well. Best regards, Dave

Hertz just announced they are a few dollars away from filing bankruptcy. Selling their 24 Hendrick's won't keep their head above water, but it may be a good time to negotiate.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-h...-idUSKBN22Z03W They're proposing to sell 30k cars per month for the rest of the year to generate cash to pay their bills. Hertz is the first, but won't be the only one. So if you're in the market for a cheap used car... the market is about to be flooded full of them. |

There’s a used Hertz lot I drive by pretty often. My beater is at 260k so I’m watching the market too. Asking prices on the basic econoboxes are at the top end of KBB fair value right now so they have a ways to go before it gets interesting.

A few things to correct in this thread:
There were 25 cars built for this program All were converted by Callaway Cars, then shipped to Hendrick Motorsports for finishing (cosmetics), including the unique carbon fiber (taller) bulge on the hood) except the first one, where Callaway Cars went to HMS and performed the conversion. They carry the GM Powertrain Warranty, supplemented by the Callaway Powertrain Warranty. Hertz's financial position does not impact any of the above. Collectability wise, 2 of the 25 have been sold so far, with more coming soon, I would imagine. I wish I could have one of these in my garage, as one can look back at past Hertz powerhouse cars, and their other "cosmetic cars" and see they generally are very collectible. |
