Ok I cant get these thoughts out of my head, 90 Convertible ZR-1

[phrogs]

This car was built at the factory and has a YZ vin number and a good title.

What do you think its worth right now as is? owner said he would take a resonable offer.

I know it has been sitting since at least 2000 in this guys place.


what do you offer for a one of car that is in need of a complete restoration?

I know I can restore this car but I guess its all about what it is worth after it is done minus what I paid for it minus the cost to restore it.

I can get the Convertible parts and the ZR-1 parts for it easy but it is a narrow boddied ZR-1.

thoughts??

not on the damage that is all fixable but more towards what its worth right now.

The pics are from another vette site corvette action center has these.

Wasn't he at one point asking 250k?

I think he was and thats probably why he still has it.

maybe restored it could bring that much but hell I don't know the DR-1 car brought in some money but it was a known car. I could fix this one then stick it in the museum for a few years and get the word out then try to sell it haha

Somehow I doubt 10K would buy it.

Yeah, probably not, LOL! If that's all it took to buy it, it probably would have been scrapped long ago. I doubt you could get him to go much lower than $200K, obviously he knows what he has. If he's really hurting for money, maybe you could get it for $160K-$170K.

Or you could try doing some of this: , then walk in there with a suitcase filled with $100K in cash and say "Here's my offer, take it or leave it".

Well I didn't think $10K would do it, but it would take a ton of greenbacks to get it to the DR-1 level. I would love to see the SPI on that one.

Is this 90 worth more then the ZR-2 Big Doggie sold last year at BJ? That's a better comparison.

honestly the hardest part of fixing that car would be the windshield frame and thats really not that hard to do but it would have to be done.

All the convertible parts can be taken from a donar car but I know I don't have enough to get that car but I would love to get it.

Johnny, I still say you need to just buy a 90 L98 Vert and convert it and be done.. honestly the coolness of a Vert with an LT5 would be the best part..
