Default Any idea what these things are worth?

I am putting together a marketing plan to sell the CFO on caging the C5Z. I am trying to find some offsetting credits to lessen the impact of the one big debit for the cage. I realize that ultimately, the market determines price, but what do you think I could reasonably get for these items, all are in excellent shape. No holes, tears, scratches, marring, etc.

C5 Sport Seat leather and foam (have pass throughs) on Z06 frames, including power drivers seat and manual passenger slider.

Brey-Krause Harness Bar, Lap-Belt Kit for clip-ins, and Floor mount extinguisher mount (all sold as a unit).


I am not looking for offers at this time as approval has not yet been granted. There may be a Furniture penalty I have to absorb as well...it is a negotiating tool.

Keith,
Who will you have do the cage? As far as selling the seats I am not sure of the price you will get. One thing you could try is to check the web for what new covers/foam are selling for and cut that in half and then add in 50% of the cost of the tracks. See how that works out for a starting price.

I would try for 1/2 retail on the Brey-Krause stuff. You can look up the prices.

best bet is to search the FS section and see what the market is. For reference however, I sold my excellent condition mod red z06 seats w/o sliders for $650 earlier this year. No power options or anything, just the seats.

just tell the CFO that is a matter of safety and that her 'employee' is her biggest asset.

The seats were my concern...had no clue what they go for with the tracks. Sounds like not much more than without tracks. The Brey-Krause stuff would go quickly, sure it is used, but you would be pressed hard to distinguish it from new.


Bill,
If the marketing plan is approved, I would send the car to winter camp at Phoenix Performance.

She is torn between my safety and the numbers on the life insurance policies

A $2 million insurance policy would make me feel unsafe OFF the track
