Default 98 Z28

Here's the deal. It's a 98 Z28 Stage 2 heads, custom nitrous cam, LS6 intake, headers and t/d's and of course all your other bolt-on's. 6 Point cage, Corbeau seats and an NOS Carbon Fiber 12lb bottle. Rebuilt 4L60E w/stall. And a Moser 12 bolt. And all the suspension mods also. Oh, And a set Fiske wheels. The only thing is that it needs new rings and bearings. My question to ya'll is, what do ya'll think it's worth?

Is it white by chance?

If so, it needs more then rings and bearings. It needs machine work on that block

On a side note, If u did decide to get it would you be willing to swap for a lighter plastic gas tank? Im in need of a metal tank to sump for my next setup im going with over the winter

Coopers old car? Thats the only one that rings a bell with those mods? Offer him $$8500. I wouldnt hesitate to offer that. It needs work and should still be in somewhat decent shape if thats the same car.

Does the car still run? $8500 is a fair price I would think. You can freshen up the motor if its not hurt as far as a spun bearing yet for about $500 with all the parts. Thats all new bearings everywhere, new rings, and new gaskets and bolts.
