$500-$750 average online.

I see this sign a little more often than other GM brands.

Good luck finding any 42" dealership sign for under $1500.

LOL, depends on condition. Might be some deals after the hurricane whips through some collections this week.

I wouldn't be low balling any collectors especially after something like that. Not the kinda of karma, I'm looking for!

Since I've seen plenty under the $1000 mark I'm comfortable.

The way estate auctions go here in Georgia, I'll bet it goes $2,000+.

Agreed Eddy!
BigBoy, I do hope you get it. It looks cool!
I, for one, would be interested in the hammer price if you are able to report.

well first off i would like to thank you all for your time and advice/input on this sign. i had budgeted $800 for this sign and it was one of the main reasons i went to this auction. bidding started at $100 and climbed to $400 and then just me and one other bidder. the problem was i knew the gentleman and knew his pockets were deeper than mine. i also know from past experience that if he wants it he is going to buy it! so rather than run him way up i stopped at 600 which put him at $625 + buyers premium. i could have went to my $800 but whats the point... i thought it was a very good buy. he bought almost all of the signs there. the rest were small engine metal signs. still scouting... thanks to all!
