Ad for ZL-1 #36

[sYc]

Judging by what the market has been on the last couple that have sold, and what it would take to restore it, I would say Charley is in the ball park, 100-150, depending on what parts are included and the overall condition of the car. Rarely does an unrestored car come up for sale, which makes the car even more attractive IMO, as you can have the car restored to what ever level you wish, and will know exactly what you have once the car is finished. Buying a restored car can sometimes lead to surprises on down the road.

I think $100,000-150,000 may be a little low. I think you could do alot or restoring and stay under that $300,000 price limit. The big thing is that unless you have the original motor It ain't original. I wonder if restored would a non-matching ZL-1 bring $300,000

Yep. Depends on the quality of restoration. Most are non original motors.

That's what I was thinking as well, most of the ZL1's don't have their original engine so I used the $300K value estimate for a NOM car. I would think the car would have a higher value with a 69 dated ZL1 engine vs a newer ZL1 engine. But if 99% of the people looking at it couldn't tell the difference, then stick a new ZL1 in it while you look for a 69 dated ZL1. But, is a NOM ZL1 a $300K car?
