now regardless of what is going on with this car in real life, I thought it would be a fun thought experiment to see what all you think should/could/would happen to this car
here is what we will use as our test subject.
1990 Zr-1, comp yellow, 2 owner car , 35k miles, stock, good interior and exterior cosmetics, ran when parked 12 years ago, was parked not placed in storage
mice have gotten to the underhood wiring and hoses but not the interior wiring.
interior does have mouse smell however.
now here is the assignment.
what is the car worth in its current state? would it be worthwhile to try to save?
if so what would be the best course of action and what would be the financial burden? what would the value be at the end?
I look forward to hearing everyones expert opinions

Having spoken to the owner she's pretty emotional about the car. Could it be savaged ? Yes but at what cost.? If it needs a total new interior because of the mice/rat problem, a new paint job on top of all the potential problems it would make more sense to part it out. However if money is no object go for it. It's like owning a T-bucket. You will never see the money you put into it back out of it so the best one to buy is the one for sale that is completed at half the price it took to put it together. GC
