Re: Another Youtuber with a C4ZR1
That was a tough video to watch. I left a note extending our condolences.

Re: Another Youtuber with a C4ZR1
The plenum should be the same silver as the cam covers imho.... I also wonder if he used loctite where applicable. Hopefully Pete gave him some pro pointers....

Re: Another Youtuber with a C4ZR1
I don't know....All though ZR-1s offer a great bang for the buck today, restoring one is something else...
He's doing all the work himself which saves of course....Yet,I'm guessing somewhere in the neighborhood of 30K-40K maybe all in ? What's it going to be worth when its done ? For value purposes a C3 chrome bumpered resto are bringing in good money today.. Parts are less expensive for the C3 and the motor set him back I'm guessing 14-15 grand alone ? He seems like his you tube channel has many subscribers....Didn't really check the views so far on this build...I guess it all depends on the interest with the C4 Z... |

Re: Another Youtuber with a C4ZR1
I think if we’re honest with ourselves, the vast majority of us in the car hobby in general are probably in our cars (far) beyond what their worth. Not that there aren’t those who maybe even make money. Then there are the speculators who buy other people’s cars for pennies on the dollar and resell at a profit. But the average guy is in it for the fun of the hobby, working on the cars and commiserating with like minded people. If cars like this were always bought and sold with value in mind half the speed shops and restoration shops out there would be out of business, and most of these cars would have been scrapped.
That my 2 cents anyway. H

Re: Another Youtuber with a C4ZR1
You don't build/restore a C4 ZR-1 to make money, you do it because you love the car. I could have bought a Ferrari (granted 360 Modena, but still...) for what I have into mine.

For a while yet, it will be the least expensive way to have the best car. Restoration costs tend to rise over time, which typically offsets the cars rise in value. If you want perfect; Buy perfect. Today it is the way of least expense. Marty |

Roll bar is in. Looks like it is from exotic muscle. Similar to my 4pt harness bar.
