A couple of people who I have spoken to about these cars keep asking me about the Carl Black Blackbirds. So, a few of them and myself are curious to know if any Blackbirds are for sale. As many of you've seen, Berger Camaros have been flowing onto the market like crazy but not one Blaclbird. Let me me know, so I can relay the message. I'm sure there's quite a few people out there looking for these specifically. Thanks!

None that I know if now. BB #34 & CETA BB #4 (members) were the last 2 sold that I remember. There are only 112 total - a few have been wrecked &/or totaled so they are hard to find.
I stand corrected - Thanks Jason - you are correct.
CETA BB #7 is for sale - in the $175k range?
BB #44 was wrecked if I remember. Jim Simon will know for sure.

It's funny how the market goes in cycles. The market seems to be flooded with certain models and then switches. I haven't seen too many BBs lately either.

I appreciate the response guys. Jim's right, though, they really are starting to become hard to come by. BlackBird #34 is awesome and I'll admit you were pretty lucky to find it.
Its a beauty. And I have to be honest I don't think spending $175K is practical for the people I know, or many people for that matter. It's a lot of cash to put out. Too bad the other one for sale has a salvage title. Really takes away focus on the car.

@Wake00 Aside from spending the $175K, my friend contacted the dealer on BB#44 (salvage title) and I guess he had no luck because the owner has decided to hold on to it.
@GMMGBlackbird Yes, I agree with you 100% about buying one once you see one. I was on the market for awhile and now have friends that are so I'm trying to keep them in the loop. Supposedly, BB#28 had been on the market for awhile. But just to check I sent an email their way to see. Thanks again.

One will come along. They always do! A few years back my Black Bird was on the market for a few months.

Yea, I gotta keep telling this to myself and the people I know on the market. They are just not easy to come by. Takes a lot of patience thats for sure.
