I have had a WTB thread for a while and have not found anything as of yet but I came across a '85 Z51 4+3 with less than 85K and a clean Car Fax (not that that means much). The car has one repaint that is nice driver quaility and very presentable but not concours. The interior is in good condition with minor wear on the leather seats but no cracks and the carpet is in good condition with no abnormal wear or holes. The glass is good. The weatherstrips while not perfect do not need replacing. The front brakes have been upgraded to daul piston calipers and 13" slotted rotors. The wheels/tires have been replace with reproduction ZR1 17x9.5s and older but like new 275/40 tires. The exhaust consists of Hooker headers and a B&B S/S cat back exhaust. I pulled the oil cap and stuck my finger inside the valve cover and no sludge. The idle is stabile. I dove the car for 20 plus minutes through local and country roads. The engine felt strong. The brakes stopped straight and quick. The car handled very well and rides quite hard over bumps as you would expect from an early Z51 car. It was by no means a rattle trap. The trans shifted smooth and the overdrive works. The clutch grabs as it should and shows no signs of slipping. The headlights rotate and light as do the signals and the rest of the lights. The 2 major negatives are the A/C does not work (which the owner disclosed up front but said he never tried to fix it as he's a windows down person) and the throttle body binds a bit (more than driveable but noticable). 2 other livable items were the L/S seat belt retractor needs help to retract and the L/S P/window is slow. Overall I would say it's an above average nice driver quality car (3+) an I tend to be picky.
I know it's hard enough to put a price on these cars even with pictures but based on my description being acurate what would you think a fair price for both buyer and seller to be?
Thanks for any and all opinions.
