At the end of the day, it's worth what you are willing to pay for it. If it is as good as it appears in the pictures and was exactly what I was looking for I wouldn't have a problem paying what they are asking, I would offer less at first of course

I would be thrilled with one with a 5 speed, tpi 305, t tops, and says IROC-Z on the door....
Or a TTA in the same price range...but those are few and far between

The hood gap would drive me crazy.
I'd say somewhere in the teens is fair; the asking price isn't far out of line and if you paid exactly what they're asking, you shouldn't feel bad. It's a super low mile survivor.
The problem is this car misses perhaps the most important thing. It has the condition, mileage, and the 25th anniversary heritage edition package. It's missing the Z28 performance to round out the car. But at least it has a V8 burble...

I sold this 1992 RS Z03 with 2950 miles for $15,500 and it was showroom new - a solid #1 car
The wheel color was optional - you could get the body color (white, red ) which was standard OR you could select grey as option (84P)

Not the most desirable engine or trim, but with such low mileage and apparently in pristine condition, I don't think $16,500 is out of line. You might get the owner down a little, but I can't them going below $15K. If this is a private party sale, I don't they'll be willing to give it away. An older car may only be worth a certain amount of money to the person that owns it and no one else, and in that case that may just hold on to it. I've been in that situation before, though with hi-mileage cars. I wanted to sell, but wasn't going to give away a car.
I love this color combination. It's odd how the rally stripes work for me on a Camaro, but I think they look bad on a Firebird.
These and all other louvers should be incinerated.

Maybe $12,000 - $16,000, depending on the car's service records; how it looks on the outside is just one part of a car's value.
With such low mileage, it may be just a whisker away from needing a lot of repair/maintenance work, something that wouldn't show up until you try to drive the car regularly---which obviously hasn't been that car's history (assuming the odometer hasn't been tweaked). The fuel and brake systems, just to name two, may need major work/$$$ before the car is reliable---unless you plan to never drive it.
Perform your due diligence before laying down the $$$.

IMO, that coolant recovery tank in the engine compartment pic does not match to a car with 4200 miles.
My 2950 mile RS recovery tank was almost snow white in color

Re: Ok pros.....I'm interested in this car. What's it worth?
What strikes me about these ultra-low mileage cars, is that when we see one, we think "oh surely there can't be many in that condition out there". But if anything the constant flow of these threads featuring these cars illustrates that MANY people bought a car like this and stored it away as an investment or as a future collectible rather than to USE. It's the Corvette phenomenon. When so many cars are preserved and well kept, are ANY of them really worth anything?
Being an RS and being the textbook Heritage color scheme doesn't help things. It's not a Z28, it's not even a tuned port car. That's a deal breaker for anyone that cares. The red interior is polarizing. I just looked at a Z28 with red interior yesterday. The comment the prospective buyer made was that the red interior HAD TO GO. It took a few minutes to explain why an interior swap is a money pit best avoided. Lots of prospective buyers will see the red interior and nope right out of that listing and move on to something else.
What's it worth? Less than if it were a Z28, or a TPI car, or absolutely any other Heritage Package color combo. It's a car a person can't really drive freely without hurting the value. Some people would do it, others would seal it in a plastic bubble and show it off like the centerpiece of their Beanie Baby collection. Personally I'd rather have something I could enjoy driving... So to me, it's not something I'd have any interest in.
