40k is closer to the number... he gave 15-16k for it (I know is irrevelant)

Wow, I'll say it's irrelevant. Since we're spouting off numbers related to other people's purchases, how much did you pay for the black one you're asking 90k for?

DOESN'T MATTER IF THE CAR WAS A GIFT TO HIM. HE CAN ASK WHATEVER HIS HEART DESIRES. IT TAKES ALOT A NERVE FOR SOMEONE TO SPOUT OFF WHAT THE CAR WAS PURCHASED FOR ON AN OPEN FORUM WHEN IT IS OF NO CONCERN TO THEM.I HEAR OF SCENARIOS LIKE THIS DAY IN AND DAY OUT AND IT JUST TURNS MY STOMACH. THIS IS COMING FROM A GUY THAT WANTS $90K FOR A BLACK Z/28 WITH A CE MOTOR RIGHT ??? KP

I knew I was going to get ripped on that one... I said it is irrelevant... the black car was alot more than 15-16k... and the numbers given at that time were a value of approx 50k as is... no work done. There was more than 15k in work and parts collected to put the black car to where it is.

Granted this car does have the original engine and paperwork... but from what I saw it looks as though there are holes rusted through the fenders... so I said a number of 40k as is... maybe a little more. That is not a number I would be willing to pay seeing as the car is going to need a complete exterior resto... (bare minimum) can't see the car being worth more than 80-90k restored. If the rust damage is not as extensive as I would imagine it is... then maybe the car is worth $50k.

Who cares if the previous purchase price is "spouted out" the money is always made on the buy side and just because someone knows what was paid for the car does not make the car or (any car for that matter) worth any less. He bought the car below market, he was happy and the seller was happy, that's the best deal when both parties walk away happy.

THERE IS ALWAYS TWO SIDES TO THESE KINDS OF STORIES. YES THE BUYER DID USE THE SITE FOR INFO THAT I AM SURE HELPED HIM MAKE THE BEST DEAL HE COULD. BUT LETS BE TRUE HERE SOME OF US ARE IN THE HOBBY TO MAKE MONEY AND SOME FOR OTHER REASONS. LET BE GLAD THAT A REAL 69 Z28 WILL HOPEFULLY MAKE IT WAY BACK ON THE ROAD FOR ALL OF US TO SEE. LIKE FIRST GEN SAID IF ALL PARTIES WHERE HAPPY WITH THE DEAL THEN SO BE IT. IF THE GUY TOOK ADVATAGE OF THE FRAMER THEN MAYBE WHAT GOES AROUND WILL COME AROUND SOME DAY

[firstgenaddict]

Exactly... the seller of the black car doesn't need the money and would rather have the car than the 85k that has been offered... it will either be the same case with the silver car or if he truly wants to sell it... market prices will prevail. I for one would like to know what the REAL market is (for a barn find like the silver car) between 2 knowledgeable parties.

I think you were way out of line by telling what was paid for a car that you have nothing to do with. I like the way you skirted around what was paid for the black car. You don't mind telling what others pay when trying to sell. Why not tell what was paid for the one you are trying to sell?

I DID NOT HAVE A PROBLEM GETTNG JAMES WHO WAS HANDLEING THE BLACK 69 THE FIRSTTIME IT WAS ONTHE BOARD. HE TOLD ME THE WHOLE STORY ABOUT THR RUNING GEAR AND THE OTHER GUY WHO USE TO WORK ON IT AND TRIED TO BUY IT ALSO BUT WAS UPSET WHEN HE DID NOT GET. NOW !! I DO AGREE THAT FIRST GEN IS TRYING TO HIT A HOME RUN ON THE PROFIT SIDE, BUT IT IS HIS CAR AND IT IS ONLY WORTH WHAT SOMEONE IS WILLING TO PAY AND AS OF RIGHT NOW THE MARKET SAYS NO NOT QUITE THAT MUCH. AGIN LETS BE GLAD THAT A REAL 69 Z28 THAT HAD BEEN IN THAT BARN FOR QUITE SOME TIME IS FINALLY COMING OUT AND SOME ONE WILL PUT HER BACK ON THE ROAD, AND SHE DID NOT IN UP IN A JUNK YARD SOMEWHERE.

What was paid for the black car was posted along time ago... 35k... That being said... I wish I would have found the silver car for what it was bought for... I don't have a problem with people knowing what was paid for something. What something was bought for and what it is worth are totally unrelated!!!

[firstgenaddict]

Never really understood why what was paid is so secret... we all tout auction prices all the time... but heaven forbid anyone throw out a low number...

Has anyone seen an engine compartment shot of this car?
