Could a bone stock (wheels, exhaust, everything!) hugger orange Z28 with 140k miles ever be worth more than $7000? Six speed car with gray leather...

Not likely. That is a lot of mileage. I wouldn't want to pay more no matter how nice the car was kept up.

Yeah, that's kinda what i was thinking, too. Plus, it has rust starting on the bottom side of the rear floors and in the engine compartment on both sides of the radiator where the inner fenders and core support come together. All that coupled with a maaco three footer paint job... the seller is at 5800 now...

Hey, welcome the the LS1Tech family!

Considering the high mileage, the rust, and the poor-quality paint job, I think the seller is being a little ambitious. I wouldn't pay more than $3,500 for such a piece, but that's just me. As always, a car is worth what someone is willing to pay for it.

Good luck with whatever decision you make!

Our thinking is very much in line.... I had 4000 in mind, but I don't know if I want it that bad. Might be a good car for my 15y/o son who gets his license in three months...
