Re: ZR1 Pricing.......
Quote:
As to the cost of the 510 HP package like Marc's it is really only about $10k, so on some cars it is not half the car's value (I would hope). But its the other little things one might ask him to do "while he is there" that can add up to a much bigger chunk of the car's value. And as a seller one doesn't get one's money back. I had originally thought I might get half back but I have now priced my car around my cost before the upgrades. Its the market, but at some point the curves cross and it just makes more sense to keep enjoying it. I really think that one day in the far distant future the Haibeck 500/510 cars (and similar ones) will be viewed and valued like the Baldwin Motion, Yenko and others of that era. Just not in my lifetime. Oh well...Spring is just around the corner. --Bob

Re: ZR1 Pricing.......
28,000 for 550 Horse.......I don't like the stripe at all.....Could you buy the Callaway back in 91 from the showroom? Or, did you have to send the car out to have that built.....??
I think it's a fair price none the less.....You figure a stock 91 would bring 21-23,000 at auction I'm guessing......Than again, it all depends on the crowd and how the car was marketed before hand... I feel if the C4 ZR-1 had a little more styling to the eye to set it apart from the regular C-4 I think it would be a different story....If you look at the styling of let's say a C6 Z06 you see the hood scoop and I believe Rear brake vents on the rear quarters plus of course the different rims and larger tires.......I think for back in the day Chevy relied on the motor to sell the car, maybe not really the styling ... Either way, it's a great time to snag one of these if your looking for the best bang for your buck... Last edited by Vette73; 02-18-2016 at 05:07 PM. Reason: Spelling |

Re: ZR1 Pricing.......
Well, if you don't mind porting and phasing the re-ground cams yourself, and even if you let Marc or Dom or Pete do the dyno tuning, you can get close to 550 hp easily under $5k. What you end up with is respectable performance that drives as nice as granny's Buick around town, but will surprise the buhjeezuz out of many contemporary cars! All w/o loosing a bit of reliability or drivability! Amazing cars!! Amazing power plant!!

Re: ZR1 Pricing.......
Dealers and auctions, the 2 markets that are the furthest from what the real world represents as far as pricing goes.
