Default high mileage?

just curious what is the standard for a mileage... a 91 with 120 k miles?
what is that? like 4200 miles a year, i would consider that quite low mileage myself but i do not the standards for a vette




shining like new money,... what do you think that is worth as it sits there, brand new wind sheild, new hurst shifter on a zf6 trans. 3.45 dana 44 all black dual power seats with bose, brand new top? original wheels with good tires included.... think i could get 4500 for that???

i have 1700 in it as it sits there

How is the interior, ac work etc?
120k is far from low but if its sound shouldnt scare off most looking to get into a cheap vette.
List it for 30 days see what comes back,. go from there .4500 isnt unreasonable to ask.

We'll need more pics to really give an informed opinion but on the assumption that paint and interior are both in good condition I'd say you're underselling it at $4,500. This time of year it should sell fast at that price so if you're okay with the $2,800 profit then by all means go for it. If you wanted to maximize the profit I'd ask $7,000 and take $6,000. It'd likely take a little more time for the right buyer to come along but I think it'd still sell fairly quickly.

Now, if either the paint and/or the interior have issues then $4,500 might be about right.

Edit: The interior pic was posted while I was typing that. The interior looks good in that shot but if it were me I'd lose that shift handle and put a nice round black ball on there. Some people will look at that T-handle and think race car and that it may have been abused.

i am on the fence with even selling it. just curious right now what i "could" get... i have wanted a nice toy for a long time.

i am 50, it is time for me to have toys... worked my *** off all my life, time to enjoy maybe if i keep it, i willl end up spending 5 grand or more on an engine and at that point i know i will never get my money back... but at at the same time, i will have a bad azz ride..

ps.. the black tag on the side of the trans, will tell people it is a race car... not the shift handle..
it is basically a zr1.. convertible special order i think
1 of about 200 or so made

Are you being sarcastic? ZR1's had the LT5 DOHC Small Block and I can find no evidence of a factory produced C4 ZR1 Convertible.

Anyway, I see you are from Jackson. I am from Lansing.... knowing what I know about this area, I would say there are a few guys around here that would be happy it was converted to a carb. The hole in the hood I think is your biggest draw back. I think if you bought a hood with a cowl to clear that, you got a $5-$7k car. I wouldn't pay that for it with he TPI removed, but it is all about finding the right buyer.
