Considering selling the beast ....

The only one that I've seen that is really comparable to mine is Mike's "5abivt", his is stunning by the way! there aren't many out there like the one I built that I've seen so it's really hard to gauge a value

I do have $40 in it.... or more😢 but I'm trying to be realistic in my expectations of selling it. I'll take as much as I can get trust me but I dont expect to get all my mod money back. I meant to say i have $15k in it. My $12-$14k was for a nice stock one, sorry I was a bit confusing

What are you thinking on value?

My $.02 is to start with market pricing of a ‘92 with similar miles. Unless you have a built LT5, I don’t see mods making a big price difference, rather might be the tipping point in which Z to purchase. My ‘91 has a ton of work done to it.... gears, new ZF, top end, cuts plenum, poly suspension, new interior, FM-5s, Jeal headers, exhaust, Eradispeed / Bear claw brakes, injectors/coils, stereo/nav, etc., etc... runs 12.5 times on street tires... spent a bunch, but I realize it won’t go for much over other ‘91s with similar miles. Not concerned with value other than to me. I estimate being in the low teens if I sold it. As compared to eating the depreciation on a new Z06/ZR1, my Z has been a great value for the enjoyment I’ve received with it over the past 16 years.

Throw it on the ZR-1 Net Registry website or BAT with reserve and see what the market will bare.

My Black 91 with full Aftermarket (Guldstrand?) suspension front to back, and Borla exhaust was 16.5, it was clean and except for suspension, stock?. Cliff saw & fixed the car once actually, so now its worth way more!
Since then I have done Henderson (Jeal) headers, X-pipe, tune, several sensors, tires, alignment, ball joints, rebuilt the half shafts, replaced most fluids, battery, rebuilt headlight motors, etc.. AND I would be surprised to recover the original purchase price if I sold it.
Now with your car, the paint color will generate a bit of a premium, Im not sure about your mods so its hard to judge value. With low miles and good condition a touch over 20K is a reasonable expectation. These cars have a limited audience IMHO so that needs to be factored in.

I agree.

Well I would agree if it was stock or the mods were basic or all "hidden" somewhat. The modifications I've made to mine are extensive, somewhat unique and very visible, so hopefully that sets it apart from the average c4z and results in a premium of price..... I hope!😁

Yes, eliminating the secondaries is a popular and probably worthwhile mod. Mine has no vaccum leaks and I tightened up the power key contacts while I had the radio control head out to fix the CD & cassette players just because I was there, which led to cleaning the AC system control button contacts just because I was there etc. etc.
