Bud, Before the stock market BLEW UP I had accrued more money than I'll ever earn otherwise. I didnt take a dime out(in time), didnt buy what I should of (cars, houses, whores, whatever) and subsequently lost almost everything.

I think 70 copo has a point 35k is not way off for a (real deal)# s matching 70z.I mean there is probably room for neg but if its rust free and #s matching car with good colors etc iam not surprised of the asking $$, especially with the prices of 69 z cars.I have a 70 Z LA build 4spd all #s car with build sheet rust free and fact stripe delete,and if i sold the car i would ask 35k..just my 2 cents thanks

Phil...I intend to have fun in the 70 People keep telling me how much better a 70 will ride and handle compared to 1st Gen. I will miss the cubic inches but if I need a fix it's only as far as the garage ! I hope this little LT 1 surprises me ...I am told it will.

Belair,

When I drove mine on the street in the 80's - (with the factory tach) mine pulled hard to 7200-would continue to rev to 7800, but the usable power really dropped off at about 7200. The best part about the LT-1 is the consistant power band. Take it out and rev it up. If it has a "sweet spot" I would say it is about 6000 RPM because of the sound the engine makes. You will Like it.

If you have lots of rear ratio you will like it more!

Chuck,

The market is going to run its cycle and that will last as long as it takes. As we all know prices went up in the late 80's and then dropped off in the 90's with the stock market/tech boom. Over the last 5 years the Baby Boomers are running the current market up. I am glad I am in the hobby for the love of it and not for the money-and because of that I keep the cars that I have despite the current market for flipping cars and the repeated attempts to buy a couple of mine.

For the 70 cars specifically this market is still emerging and is doing very well. Most people who are forced to sell a 70 would be a crazy not to sell the car for the best money they could, and good for them. If I was in that situation, who the buyer was would take priority in the sale not the money.

Over the years people have tried to buy my 70 car since 1988. Most recently I turned down 6 figure money for the car, and did not blink - so there you go, I think $35K, for an original drivetrain car that needs some fluffing up may be good market value today. These cars are jumping in value by the month (or week) at this time.

Belair - You really have a nice car. At least you can take it out and drive it right?? Very cool I really like Hugger Orange.
