Got a 60,000 mile 91 black/black Z07 coupe 6spd that lost 2nd gear. I’ve tried to sell for 5k with no luck.Wondering how much money can I make parting it out? Doesn’t make sense spend 3k+ for another zf(parts only) for a car that only be worth 8k when fixed. Want to know average what can I expect if. I part out?

I’m in the Chicagoland area, and I would have use for the engine which I value at 2k so really only need about 3k for rest of car to get what I’d like from car. I have googled how much can be made and haven’t found out the value of what I can expect which is why I’m asking. I appreciate all replies as the car has just been sitting last couple years now and just considering all options. Even thought of converting to a t56 or gasp even going automatic trans. Also got a bad left knee that flares up couple times a year that makes driving with a clutch difficult.

edit to add

also hoping people getting 7k+ parting these out, but I know that’s probably a stretch especially as can only sell trans as a core. I do have garage available and don’t mind if takes couple years but prefer to complete part out in 12 months or so.

I don’t mind taking car apart myself have all the tools and the space but adding everything up including the 2k I value engine at keeping it myself from plenum to oil pan I do see a quick 4K. I really need 5k out of it to be happy tho. I did have fun with car and don’t want to go thru trouble fixing trans as I do have bad knee and also I really could use engine as a spare for another vehicle I have with a Camaro l98 which has steel
heads not alum. Car also needs paint so that’s also going against having it repaired. If people getting 5k+ out of these or 3k+ without engine I be very happy.

Zfdoc is over 3k, but have found rebuilder for 3k so that’s what I’m pricing the trans at although probably go a little over when add shipping.

i thought about this too but really only expect 8k selling as needs paint and some other little things. If I didn’t have bad left knee I’d do it but I also have a really nice 1/2 ton Shortbed square body that really could use a spare engine for it, already has l98 out of a 91 Camaro. I’ve even thought about putting the irs from the vette in it but I like the idea of being able to do light towing with it.

Ive helped a friend cut up cut up a couple cars after parting up with a sawzall and sold many of the parts on car forums. A mustang fox body and 93 Sentra ser. I’ve also completely cut up 2 cars in an auto shop class so do know exactly what it takes to do this and yes it’s a pain but also a little fun. I also have a use for the engine and value it at 2k maybe even 2500 for myself so that being said I only need 3k. For it to really be worth my time I really though want a little more than 3k in my pocket tho as I do know about stripping a car completely. Appreciate your comment but really want to know what are people getting for stripping and selling complete?

ive seen used ZFs go for a grand but I don’t want to do all the work swapping and take a chance it don’t work.

It is a Z07 with under 60k miles so don’t think 8k is a stretch although you very well maybe right about the 8k being too much but it would be worth that or close to that as this car is really clean, you could or at least I would eat off the undercarriage as it’s mint under there.

You sir are exactly the person I want to know from. If you don’t mind sharing how much money are you getting from the vettes you are parting out?
