The general theory in hard times is take the KBB value of the vehicle with miles on body and add 25% of the amount spent on modifications (not including install). In good times, 50%. If he can get people to pay more than those percentages, kudos to him

Build looks pretty soild BUT it will come down to looks as well. Any pics ?

nik1703

I'm working on getting a few pics.

It's a completely stock looking black Z28, great condition paint/interior.

That said, any guesstimates? I'm look at where the price should start

Its hard for me to say seeing cars sell for different amounts depending on where you live, Here in the houston area i would say $3500 - $4500 depending on what it looks like. There are a lot here in my area and a bone stock one in ok shape sell from $1500 - $2500

Miles on body? Options?

Like I said, look up KBB and add 25-50% of mods

nik1703

130k on the body. KBB is good/great condition is $5,000.

I suppose i'll start the price at $10k?

You can try.. I'd highly doubt anyone would buy it for that in this economy. I was originally considering reselling my car, but I have too much $$ into the transmission to consider selling it.

Whys he selling it? Sad

im here in san diego and theres quite a few for sale here and in la built for the 4-7000 range just try and figure it out you can always go down but never go up best of luck to you

you can talk economy all day but people are still spending money but it still depends on your area, Houston is thriving and doing excellent.

Like I said, try the highest dollar... Wait awhile.. and if it doesn't sell, drop it down a bit.

At the end of the day, if the car is worth more to him than he could sell it for, he should probably keep it

nik1703

Agreed, I can try posting it in multiple areas. Maybe even Texas.

He's selling due to lack of funds to continue the project. It's been sitting since 08', I mean he drives it every few weeks around the block but that's about it.

Sad, sad! What all does he even have left to do to it? Looks like a pretty fun setup

nik1703

Really all that it needs is a good set of drag wheels/tires, maybe a little bit more in the suspension and a roll cage.

If anyone is interested on here feel free to shoot me a PM.

Thanks for the info guys.
