1974 Z/28 1800 miles
 

A friend of a friend was letting me know about that his Dad bought a 74 Z and put it in his basement and there it has sat. Green with Black interior, 4 speed. Still has window sticker in the window. Pretty much factory perfect, untouched.
I think they are possibly looking to sell it, what would it be worth?

Thanks

No doubt, just trying to figure out a price

Here is a couple from past Mecum auctions...

Hard to put a value on such a low mileage car, sounds like a winner.

any chance you can get some pictures and post them here?

The million dollar question is how was it stored? You can do a lot of damage parking a brand new car in a damp basement for decades without the proper prep beforehand. Take a look at all the ruined, zero-mile, 1978 Indy Pace Car Corvettes out there.

Amen to that Steve .. I remember when I was still in NJ and I worked for Jim Curley GMC .. it seemed like every parts house I went to had one of those corvettes shoved into a corner

No this sat in a finished basement, temperature and humidity controlled.

Can't wait to see it. Very interested

Bring on the photos! Just make sure you block out any license plates for privacy sake.

74 Z28's have not been a popular car vs the round taillight, chrome bumper 70-73 Camaro.

I understand that survivor cars are very popular.

It will be interesting to SEE the car, VIEW the pics
and READ how much $$$ a collector is willing to pay ??

Re: 1974 Z/28 1800 miles
 

Yep, put up pictures. Include cowl tag, underhood and chassis shots. Lets see how clean it is. It'll be easier to judge then.

Re: 1974 Z/28 1800 miles
 

I cant see what the Mecum auctions brought, but my guess is at least $20K + if its nice.

Re: 1974 Z/28 1800 miles
 

The gold car was bid to 29K and the white car to 44.5K both were no sale. There are some others as well those are two of the better ones.

The &quot;bid to&quot; amount is never relevent as it includes what the auctioneer is self bidding the car up to, in order to get close to the reserve to get an actual bidder to step in and make the next bid to get it over the reserve. Unless it sold, the bid to amount is not useful at all other than to see what the reserve might have been: in this case most likely $30K and $45K.

VERY well said!

I agree that the 70-73 2nd Gens definitely garner more attention, but for some reason those '74 Z's seem to have risen above the later 2nd Gens by a decent amount. Can't wait to see pics.

Waiting on him for pics
