1969 Lemans Blue Z28 Value
 

Hi! I am new to the forum. I just recently bought a very nice Z28 and just wanted to tell you a little about my car and get opinions from you as to what you all think the value may be. It is a really cool car. I have known about it for several years and the owner finally decided to sell. I am now the 4th owner and was able to track back ownership and speak to the 2nd owner that bought the car from a friend back in 1984. Here are the details.. It is 100% rust free with all original body panels. it is an X33 D80 car. It is coded 71 B which I found is Lemans Blue with a black vinyl top. The car has had 1 repaint. The vinyl top was removed and it now has white stripes. I am assuming the original stripe color would have been black with the black vinyl top?? It still retains 100% of its original black interior and it is near flawless. The drivetrain... engine(original DZ), trans, and rear is all numbers matching. It has its original carb, intake, distributor, pullies, etc. It does have a few minor modifications like headers, chrome hood latch, chrome oil pan, and chrome rear cover. All in All... a super clean totally rust free car with a super clean rock solid undercarriage. The paint is also near flawless. Ok guys..I already bought it because I love the car but educate me... Whats the current value according to my description? Thanks in advance for your help!

so, isn't the value what u just paid for it? or was it a gift?

Re: 1969 Lemans Blue Z28 Value
 

Welcome to the forum. The valve is what ever you paid for it and you know you got a good deal. A classic car is value at what ever you pay for it. Now only time will tell you how good you did. With some pictures the people here can help you out on how good you did. Good luck with it and have some fun with it. Pictures please!!!

He is asking a legitimate uqestion. You need an actual market value for insurance purposes regardless of what you pay for a car. If he got it as a gift does that mean the insurance company covers it for $0 in value?

Congrats on the car. Lets see some photos! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Re: 1969 Lemans Blue Z28 Value
 

Congrats and welcome..Without seeing pics I'm going to guess 40-50K.

Re: 1969 Lemans Blue Z28 Value

Don't think he is asking for Ins. purposes. I think he is asking to see if he got a good deal or not. I think Plowman said it best!

Re: 1969 Lemans Blue Z28 Value
 

You are correct. I am trying to see if I did get a decent deal on the car. I paid 50K for it. Just trying to see if you guys feel that was fair. I will try to get some pics posted here soon.

Well Charlies numbers have you in the ballpark. Need to see some pictures for sure.

Re: 1969 Lemans Blue Z28 Value
 

At $50K, unless there are some issues that you haven't uncovered, you are probably OK moneywise. The fact that you have a complete ownership chain and talked to owner #2, who was friends with owner #1, means a lot in my book.

Re: 1969 Lemans Blue Z28 Value
 

Yes..that is what I thought. I know the man that I bought it from very well too. He has owned it over 10 years. It is a really nice car. The body is perfect and the original interior near flawless. I just figured it isn't easy to find a numbers matching Z28 with original body panels, original interior, and ownership history. I knew it was a very cool find and didn't want to pass it up. Thank you for your opinion. I appreciate it.

I see you like Chevelles Bill. I also just recently purchased from a friend of mine that recently purchased it from the original owner, a 69 Dusk Blue SS 396 bench seat 4 speed. Was a one owner car until about 2 months ago. Completely rust free original panel numbers matching car. Protect-o-plate and title in original owners name. I thought it was a very neat find as well.

Get us some pix of your Chevelle! [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: 1969 Lemans Blue Z28 Value
 

If your Chevelle is a 4 speed with Parchment interior and no vinyl roof....I <span style="font-weight: bold"><span style="text-decoration: underline">don't</span></span> want to see pictures!

Re: 1969 Lemans Blue Z28 Value
 

It has no vinyl roof but it does have black interior not parchment

I,m waiting also!

Re: 1969 Lemans Blue Z28 Value
 

Actually stripes were most likely white originally. I had an original paint 71B car and stripes were white. I changed them to black when I repainted as it looked better.

Here is an original paint 71B with black stripes
