Once you start modding them to your personal taste, the intrinsic value question is out the window and it comes down to, "what is someone willing to pay?" I had the same issues with mine; for instance, I loved my black salad shooter wheels but nobody else did. The car looks MEAN...good luck with it!
Yes, agree 100%

If the car has many modifications you might have to wait a long time to find the buyer

Might add also...….if the modification is a Haibeck (or other reputable and proven modification) it will add to the value I am sure.

Good Luck and have a Merry Christmas
Yeah I think it all comes down to that right person that's looking for your specific car. I think the mods I've made are ones that enhance both the looks and performance

Buying a Z that has had the typical stuff done to it will put any potential buyer light years ahead of one without having that work done.

I bought mine mid this year and the PO had done almost all the things that would be to my own liking.... I mean everything... Bill B trans, Dr, Dons stereo refurb with BT... starter, injectors, wires... and the list goes on. The only thing I wanted to do was headers so far... and then really the only inoperable or poorly working things left on the car are the seat tracks/motors need replaced.

I don't think you'll have a hard time selling as long as the buyer knows these cars, they will know that its pretty much turn key. These cars are pay me now or pay me later situations.

Yes when I bought this one it was pretty much bone stock down to the 26 year-old tires, was "unmolested" from the factory, but the downside of it was as you mentioned everything needed addressed, fluids tires injectors and so on. Which I actually really enjoy the process of getting a car back up to Snuff, so wasn't a huge issue ....if you can stomach parting with all the $100 bills😂

Ya know guys, after sitting here thinking it over, rereading some of your comments and to seal the deal, walking down into the garage and looking at her..... I have decided to keep it! With the way the build turned out I honestly think it's one of the best looking c4s out there, (not to seem to full of myself). Its literally got a couple different features that make it the only one on planet earth that has them (brakes/wheels) at least that I'm aware of. I'm keepin it.....I have to, it's to good to let go. Even if I was able to get low 30s out of it I'd be loosing money so why not just keep it. I cant wait until I'm able to take the picture of both z's sitting in the garage, 1 of which will be a c6zr1😉. Thanks for the encouragement and guidance guys...... she stays!

Both of you need to settle your issues offline. This is a thread about someone openly discussing interest in selling their ZR. Let's keep it focused on that issue ONLY. If you can"t do that, I'll suspend BOTH your posting rights.
Your ball.

Cool... I would have hated to see that car go if it were mine. And who knows.... might even be in the calendar for 2019....

Well if I'm keeping her looks like I better get to putting in the new flywheel/ clutch😁. I ordered a fidanza and a centerforce a while back, I also got the bolts/shims/bearing from marc so should make for a smooth installation. Cant wait to hear it spin up!
Anyone have any tips before I dive in?
