From a professional dealership, factory standpoint, it would. From a private party standpoint, it wouldn't matter, because no one would know.

i think car reports say its options... "power windows, cruise control, t-tops"..

i doubt anyone would notice that t-tops wasnt listed. plus i doubt i'll sell the car. wont a z28 be a collectors car one day.. like a cobra mustang?

I['m gonna go ahead and say it's a94 z28, the value is already next to nothing bro. I would think t-tops would gain you some cash. The only people looking to buy that car are high school kids, and t-tops are a big plus man.

Would a z28 be a collectors car? No way dude. z28's are a dime a dozen. If it was an 22 or a formula ws6, then I would say hold off. But it's just a z and its a 94.

Might be a collector one day 40 years from now but who knows. Aren't the cars that hold their value genuinely all original? I would imagine adding ttops would not help the value.

It would gain value, HANDS DOWN, in the fact you would get the same asking price but a quicker sale...

Running car that is clean, that is a good price. What were the miles?

Under 100K with t-tops and cheap mods (to set it apart) should net $3000-$4000 from a highschool-college kid.

runs great. black interior. power everything. the automatic transmission shifts like new too.
needs a few minor things like windshield wipers..

the guy i bought it off of..has another camaro for a parts car and he told me i can have all of the black interior out of it for free.. so i'm gonna put the black interior in my 98 firebird which had tan interior that i tried to paint but peeled off
