value of a ZL 1 clone with a real ZL1 motor

[Unreal]

It's easy to get caught up in percentages. Pay an extra 1% for a new car, and we're looking at $ 250.00. Pay an extra 100% for a new suit, and we're looking at $250.00. Pay double for a new suit? "NO WAY, IT'S AN EXTRA $250!!" But pay 1% more for a new car, and we say, "Hey, it's $250."

Add 20% to the value of a Z/28 for original motor = $20,000

Add 20% to the value of a ZL-1 for original motor = $200,000

Who's going to pay $200,000 for a motor?

While the number of buyers willing to spend a mil or more on a collector car are few, I believe there are more potential buyers of a ZL1 with its original drivetrain for 1 million than the same car with a restoration engine for $800k. What I find interesting is the correlation between the perceived potential buyers vs. the widening price difference. If the prices were 300k apart I still believe there are more buyers for the original drivetrain car...at 400k you may have picked up enough buyers to swing the balance in the other direction. I'm not sure where the point of diminishing returns is....In the end it only matters what the current owner thinks but....they all get sold someday!

I would pay more for a ZL1 with good history and options with non orig engine than I would pay for a boring one with orig engine.

Please let us know why the great color car (what is the color?) is $250000 more? thanks

[Charley Lillard]

I believe the 850K car is a yellow 4 speed.

How 'bout an original motor car w/non-original great color v. non-original motor w/original great color? Which do you pick (and you can't pick Ditka)? I know what I'd take (whatever it is you guys are taking!!).
