Default Modified C4 Value ..

I have fallen on hard times recently. Mom & dad passed. So I have many financial obligations. My immediate thoughts are just packing my Vette and leaving. With the roll bar, there isn't much room. I am just curious what my old 86 C4 might be worth. I seriously doubt I would sell her. 5000mi. on 420Hp.TrickFlow motor, Keith Black Pistons, 52mm.BBK intake. Sanderson headers. MegaRaptor R700r4trans. Virtually everything new+updates, coolers etc. 11x17" GrandSport Wheels. Just a thought before I pack up and move from Ca. to FLA. where such things as Taxes & Gun laws are less offensive. Anyone interested in my car. Just say hi' also looking for friends along the way.

Hard to say what its worth, personally if one was modded right Id pay more over a stocker, some would be scared off.

Maybe wait til you settle in mentally from all thats going on before making a rash decision. Hang in there.

Remember seeing that first vid a looong time ago.

Sorry for your loss.

I recommend that you drive your nice vette out of Kommiefornia and come to the Free state of Florida and leave the Libitards behind. Bring your vette and guns. Don't sell it, you will regret it once you arrive in the Sunshine State. What you cannot pack, donate or sell or put in boxes and have UPS or some common carrier ship it cheap. Just make sure you are in compliance will all the laws of the states you travel through as far as your guns go. Since they are all Southern States, you should be fine if the locked and unloaded. Should not be a problem, but double check.

With modded cars it is a crap shoot at best.

To the vast majority of the car buying World it is worth less than stock but to the right person it is worth a lot more. The problem comes in finding that person.
