Re: What do you guys think my car is worth

IMO a restored Z28 steering wheel, and a T-56 would complete this car, you have a very sweet ride sir, what eibach spring kit are you running?

Re: What do you guys think my car is worth

Looks like you were at the 3rd gen fest. How did it measure up to some of the other cars? Were you satisfied with your work? Years ago when I participated in shows thats what I did. When I started seeing gold plated u-joints I knew it was time to stop for me...LOL!

Re: What do you guys think my car is worth

Congrats! I have a similar stance with my car by using Eibach Pro's with Bilstien fronts and shorties in rear with Founders adjustable camber/caster strut plates. I have a set of refinished first series IROC wheels with Firestone Firehawk wide ovals that work well and look nice. I have about an inch height clearance on the front with no rub and the back is one and three quarter inch.

Oh, BTW, I like the steerig wheel thats on your car

Re: What do you guys think my car is worth

I would think no more the 7k.....but really...it's only worth what someone will give you for it on that given day.....question is...did you restore it for resale or for YOU?.....I built mine for me..so yes I will sell mine only if I'm in a bind or someone will give me close to what I want

Re: What do you guys think my car is worth

here's the issue (IMHO). not to insult you but you have a beautiful "resto-mod". when you say restored, it's actually not restored. it's improved upon, to you, but to others (including myself) it's a "great execution of the wrong idea". If you restored your camaro i would have been in love with it. What you did was build a camaro for your specific taste and then ask the rest of us to tell you "you did good". you did good for you, that's what important. Me? others here (some obviously not all) we like it more original with maybe some improved suspension parts, etc. but visibly it should closely resemble what it did 25 years ago.

Again, beautiful camaro, for me, i would never buy it, not for $2500. For someone planning to do that type of modification? heck they could tell you they'll give you $15k... best of luck with it.

no climate control at all? i never understood that in a street car... i could never deal without A/C let alone heat or a blower motor of some sort??

Re: What do you guys think my car is worth

I remember seeing this car at TGF'11, it was one of my favorites. In fact I think I might have actually taken the photo you posted from the show (3rd one posted).

Re: What do you guys think my car is worth

The car isn't my style so I would probably only give about 4000. For me the color is a problem as I do not like yellow and I would have to put heat and air back in it.
To be very honest though, the prices here are going up some so it is probably worth about 8- 10 grand.
My car still isn't worth even 2000 to be honest but I would need about 5000 to part with it so I understand. When mine is finished it will not be for sale.

Re: What do you guys think my car is worth

I have done a lot of personal touches to many vehicles that i have owned and few have actually changed the resale value...your own touches may not mean much to others, which will inturn not be worth it to others...i would say 6000 is reasonable but id prolly ask 8000 for it...Very nice car though bro!!!
