realistic price for 70 Z-28

[70Z]

John, my .02 would be value depends on a lot things. For example:

"Completely restored" can mean a lot of things. Certianly a car restored to an anal level of originality is normally worth more than a car restored to a lesser level of detail. Both may be beautiful cars but to get the big bucs "correctness" seems vital.

How you market the car plays a big part in what it sells for. Is the description accurate? Are the pics detailed?

Another thing. It's been my experience that a "known" car sells faster and for more money. People like knowing that the "community" is in agreement that the car is legit and correct. I personally fall into this category. I feel more comfortable and will pay more for a car that others who are far more knowledgable than I sign off on, so to speak.

Paper documentation..Sort of relates to the above except the paper stuff could always be faked. The 2 together though make a winning combo.

And finally, the buyer! Some people buy these cars because they want THAT car. Believe it or not, their not looking to make money. They just want what they want. If a buyer like that shows up, you as the seller are going to be real happy.

Thats my story and I'm sticking to it

I just picked up a 70Z, Citrus Green with 49K miles, CW Turbo 400, no rust, no smog, one repaint, all original except for correct CE warranty replacement motor, almost perfect interior, non-rs, for $21,500. It is a geat starting point for a resto since most of the hard to find items are there.

I have even talked with the son of the first owner since 70 or 71 and he claimed the motor was overheating and the engine was dealer replaced sometine in the early 70's. That would match up with the blocks casting date of 1971 and one 492 service head dated 1972. The other head is a 186 casting, dated Jan 1970. It even has the original spare tire.

Apparently, the father bought the car in 70 or 71 for his son while he was in High School. It's a wonder he didn't wrap it around a telephone pole.

Getting ready to hunker down for Hurricane Rita. Best of luck to everybody.
