whatever somebody will pay for it.
depends on the quality of the install and the shape\completeness of the roller.
pics?

Re: 85 z-28 chasis with 8pt Cage
Is it an 8 point cage or an 8 point roll bar? Does it have a halo bar and A-pillar bars? If so then it's a cage. If not then it's just a 6 point roll bar with driveshaft tunnel braces for 2 more points.
Buying someone else's uncompleted project might be a good deal but can also be more headaches than it's worth. Typically a roller is worth far less than a turnkey car and a roller is never worth what's been put into it.

Re: 85 z-28 chasis with 8pt Cage
My first cage was a Jegs. Although it fit fine, it isn't as nice a fit as an S&W cage.
Cost of a cage is nothing. Cost to install is expensive. To have someone install your cage, estimate $100-$150 per point. Prices will vary depending on how much needs to be done.
