Default Anyone know this Z28, owner or what not?

Looking at maybe to purchase this and was wondering if the owner or any details of it are on this forum, or if anyone knows him?

Looks pretty well built, lot of aspects covered on it......any comments?

Ive emailed them last night, waiting to see price Monday.....hopefully around 25ish, or under

It doesnt look bad, and that is actually about 30 mins north of me. But I have an issue with buying someone elses project ( especially if that project has nitrous on it ). If your looking for a fast car, it would be a good buy for you. But half the fun for me is building it and making my own combination of parts to my liking on it. So I, personally, would pass on it. Plus 15k? why would they have it listed so cheap for?

Looks nice and 15-18k is about it, maybe 20 considering the low miles.

As for an owner, the pics look as though its sitting in a dealership...

auction says it's at a dealership, it was a trade in. probably more asking who used to own it. it says it has a Futral Motorsports engine, maybe they worked on it?

Same here. I would find a stocker or close to stocker.You can find some here for a decent price. You dont know how many times it was sprayed and how well it was built.

They want 26000 for it

If Futral built it i know is in pretty good hands with that, they are gonna tune/install anything i would get for it regardless

I mean considering everything thats done to it, i dont think its too too bad a price

KBB on a 2002 Z28 with 20000 miles is 13-14k, now add up all those mods if i were to have them done myself

I think itll come out cheaper if i buy modded than mod myself, not fun too some, but same result

Thanks for the comments, im still looking around

15- 18 thousand?

Thats like if the car was stock and had nothing but boltons......26000 is on the high side, but this is just what dealer said over internet

that means it is a solid cam & not hydraulic,not really for someone who is not mechanically inclined because you brake more things easily(broken springs & bent push rods on top of keeping it all adjusted right all of the time) & 684 lift is huge ..........

good luck

kbb doesnt mean ****. 26 is a little on the high side, but still not unreasonable for what you are getting.

yea thats not a bad price considering all the mods to the car but you have to consider this when you trade a car mods don't mean anything you get whatever that car is worth in stock form and most of the time you never get a KBB price anyway when trading in a vehicle you get the price at which a dealer and buy or sell the car at an auction. So you figure if you pay more for the car than what its actually worth then your lossing money but its really all about what you want.. It looks like a very clean and well built car wish I had 20k to drop into a car
