Default What Do you guys think?

So to start off, this truly isn't a thinly veiled for sale post with no price. I hate that, lol, I think a fair price is +/- $15k, fire sale price 12.5k.

I have a 1990 ZR1 that I've had a few years and to be honest it never gets driven. It's a "driver" for sure, and certainly not a collector piece. That said, it does have the Lingenfelter 368 package, but unfortunately a salvage title(prior to my ownership).

The good:
-83k miles, but Lingenfelter rebuild done around 45k
-a few years ago, but very few miles ago, I shipped this car to Mark Haibeck for a thorough check up and 3.73 gears (the 4.09 from the lingenfelter package was too short for my taste, but they'd be included)
-fresh paint on the top half of the car and front - looks fantastic.
-Runs great - Marc also installed his modern tune while he had the car.
-its FAST, even by modern standards (the ONE time I took this car to a drag strip, it ran a faster 1/4 than my aston v12 vantage s and my supercharged 2011 BMW M3 - I think I posted about it here when it happened)
-New Fuel Pumps, Battery, oil pressure switch, master cylinder, brake calipers, coolant reservoir
-Secondary actuators deleted
-"Skip shift" deleted

The neither good nor bad:
-Currently has race bucket seats installed with a harness bar and 6 point harnesses. I have the original seats and would include them, The installed seats and harnesses are high end RACETECH pieces
-Hawk DTC 70 brake pads

The bad:
-Obviously the title, however there is zero frame damage.
-the tires have plenty of tread, but they(specifically the rears) absolutely suck, I hate them(sumitomo 180TW). They rear grip is so bad that I thought something might be wrong with the car(also posted here at the time) Once I switched to different rear tires (mounted on different wheels *black non matching rims with NT05's that i bought from a member here*) it handles like a dream.
-I replaced the oil pressure switch because it was leaking, I can't tell if there is still a leak or it's just residual oil, but lets assume there is a small oil leak from either the oil pan gasket, oil filter housing gasket, or Oil Pressure Regulating Valve Cover Plate. I'm done working on this car, I don't plan to fix.
-The headliner on the removable roof is completely gone. It was sagging pretty bad so I just removed it. Always meant to address, but never did.
-Windshield has the typical yellowing in the corners.
-I THINK I have all the trim pieces needed to reinstall the factory seats and anything removed to accommodate the harness bar, but can't 100% guarantee it.
-original A/C - r12?

I'm sure I'm forgetting a couple things nut thats the most important stuff.

What do you guys think? Is 15k reasonable? What price do you think gets it gone now? I need the space in my garage.

Thanks!

Curt

Sounds like an honestly described car at a fair asking price for someone not concerned about a salvage title. With a salvage title, you buy inexpensively and sell inexpensively in a narrow market, so as long as it runs and drives well, have fun! --Bob
