WTB advice please!! - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Going to look at a 91 ZR1 next weekend and wanted to get some opinions from members on here.

It's a red on red 91 with 27k on it. It has the painted top only and no service records or any documentation. It is all original and apparently everything works and the car drive and looks new.

The owner has only owned it a year and a half.

Everything seemed good until he sent me the vin number and I did a carfax report on it. The car shows salvage in 91, seller says that the car was stolen from the dealership and insurance paid it out and when it was found after a year unharmed it got salvage.

I looked into it a little further and yes they do brand a car as salvage if stolen and insurance paid out before car was found.

After the car was found, it went through several auctions through its life and multiple owners. It was actually sold through Barrett Jackson in 09 and 11 and both times the description was that the car was like new and original.

My question to you guys is what do you think it's worth? How much does the value take a hit 1) by having salvage on the report 2) it has no documentation 3) it's moved around a lot in the 20 something years of its life.

One last thing the ownership does not brand it as salvage or rebuilt.

Let me know what you guys think, if I like the car and it the inspection comes back good, what do you think a fare value is?
