Opinion on 69 Z28 for sale

[FrankieZ]

I am getting ready to buy a 69 Z has original motor and 4:10 rear, replacement M22 the car was originally burgundy now painted black older laquor job looks nice not perfect very nice and clean driver all mechanicals are in order nice chrome and original red interior solid frame all panels and floors appear to be original sheet metal the asking price 35K does that sound reasonable ? im a Vette guy so this is kinda new to me so any help would be appreciated.

Thank you all in advance

Seems a little high with it being the wrong color. The car is probably worth $35-38K at most if it was the original color. It would probably cost $5-10K to have it repainted the original color so take that into account. I don't think the car would be worth $45K after being repainted so you may want to adjust your offer accordingly.

I would think low $20's. Restored Z's can be bought in the low to mid $30's pretty easily.

Low 20's? Come on now. If you can find me an original 69 Z/28 that's just as nice but the wrong color for "low 20's" I'll take it.

As for the value of this particular car, it all depends on the paperwork and how much of it remains original and verifiable. But I can see it easily fetching what their asking for it out here in on the west coast.

JG,
I AGREE WITH YOU. I HIT NUMEROUS SHOWS ALL YEAR AND 69 Z/28'S IN THE LOW 20'S RANGE IS FEW AND FAR BETWEEN. I'D BE BUYING EVERYONE THAT COMES ALONG. IF ITS A NUMBERS CAR AND HAS GOOD SHEETMETAL AND PRESENTS ITSELF WELL LOW TO MID 30'S AS FAR AS A RANGE SEEMS TO BE THE MARK. JUST MY OPINION... KP

I agree with above two posts. Black looks good also. To give a better opinion it would be good to know if there is any paperwork.

i agree with jg it is real hard to find a decent z of any kind in the low 20's. it seems like 28-38,000. is the norm for a decent car.

But knowing that the car needs a repaint back to original color do you guys still think it's worth $35K since it would cost $5-10K to get back to Burgundy? I just don't think it would be a $45K car after the repaint unless it has some great paperwork. It looks good in the picture, but he said the paint isn't that great so I would assume you'd want to paint it for maximum enjoyment.

if by paperwork do you mean a protect-o-plate, dealer invoice or owners history... no there isnt just the trim tag showing the typical ID#s and that its an X33 Nor car and documentation that the owner just did 12K worth of work putting all the mechanicals in order and getting everything
on the car working. I am attaching and under the hood photo.


Thanks again for all your input
