sorry if this is wrong message board. but i am new to this site and i love it there is so much info on these cars . i currently own a 91 firebird bought it cheap 90x miles on it. and i came across an 87 iroc z for sale the owner wants 2,000 for it with no motor and no tranny. it is sub frame connected has true duals on it. decent paint not orig. msd ignition still in it . borg warner 9 bolt in it. comes with extra set of rims with slicks. it has a brake control kit in it. slp headers for the exaust. new radiator. elec fans. it has drop springs on it. and comes with low profile oil pan.and has a alum. drive shaft with it. i have a motor and tranny and have been looking for another f body. i was wanting to know if you guys think it is worth it. let me know and thank you for any help.

 

That is a tuff call.
See, I could probably find a rust free roller where I am for about $600 – $700 pretty easily, which would still have everything attached, so plenty of extras.

So for me, the questions would be.
What are my goals?
Am I trying to make it a race are, restore it as a show car, or daily driver, or just plain fun hobby car.

Based on the answer to that question I can then try to determine if the rest of the bonus parts this car comes with is worth an additional $1300 - $1400 dollars.

Frame connectors a pretty cheap and relatively easy to install.
True duels can be a blessing or a curse depends on the quality of the job the previous owner did.

I would have to look up the cost of a used MSD ignition, and more specifically, the type he used.

The borg warner is pretty common, it’s a nice to have, but definitely not worth too much extra. About 50% of my project cars have them.

The following are your true wild cards:
“extra set of rims with slicks. it has a brake control kit in it. slp headers for the exaust. new radiator. elec fans. it has drop springs on it. and comes with low profile oil pan.and has a alum. drive shaft with it”

Rims and slicks, are all over the place in price depending on the brand and condition.
The new radiator, well that could be a huge wild card also, stock replacement would run somewhere around $150.00, but a custom race one can run from $350 - $650 or potentially more.

So really, I would sum up what I think all these extras are worth, then add that to the base value of a roller, and come up with your price.

Also noting that 90% of the time people ask for a value above what they think it is worth.
The value they ask for is their ideal amount they want.
The person might easily take $1500 for it.
Unless he says he is firm on the price.

And what firm on the price means is that, right now, he is firm on the price, in a couple of months, that firmness may be at a lower price if it does not sell.

Hope this helps

 

yes this does help. and this car is in good shape. and i think it is worth it has a lot of parts and is where i want my firebird to be and i have a fresh 355 and 700r4 with a kit in it and this car would be an amazing car with them in. and i traded a 12 bolt rear end for a down payment on the car i am going to get it. and thank you for helping me out. when i get it i will post pics of it i am pumped i love these cars this is going to be another mustang killer
