Fuddy duddy it does... Keep that gem of a car you have. It will only get more desireable over time. I'm not a big polo fan but your z is sexy as *****.. Very nice brother. That is an auction car with a few drunks that have to have it. Most people that own a c4 can't comprehende 42k invested . Regardeless of market value.. Sik car!! Your wheels ,tires and brakes are worth more than 75% of 92 base models. That's a fact!

When I look at something with an interest in buying it I don’t follow the norm meaning get it as cheap as possible,if it’s clean,and works for me I’ll buy it. My mindset is I want the CLEANEST I can buy,even if I pay a premium for it. I put some feelers out there not too long ago about selling my car. I’ve got an easy $45,000 in my car and would put it up against anybody’s car with my claim that the car is cleaner than 99% of the Zs out there and I wouldn’t take a dime less than $30,000 for it.

I just try to ignore all those people, I know what I have and what I want out of it and that's that. If I can't get what I want out of it then I just won't sell it, it's worth more to me to keep it.
I never expect to get all of my mod investment money back but it's Preposterous to think that it doesn't raise the value of the car at all. People who think that way, these types of modified cars probably aren't for you.

That dude wants a super specific Z and doesn't want to pay for it. It's not going to happen. My guess is he sees ZR-1's for sale that he doesn't like for 20k and when he finds one he does like he tries to apply that lower number to it. He's also asked multiple people about original wheels and I think it's hilarious he asked you because there is no way in hell the factory wheels are going over those brakes.... but he didn't ask about the factory brakes.

good mods are the way to go. I had a modified zr1 and it would smoke any stocker easily. 44k miles with headers. siamesed ported intake upper and lower cai, brakes roll cage etc... all black and a just painted and detailed black motor plus new injectors, brake bias, corsa exhaust, customer shifter etc.... it did not go for what it was worth and I did lose lots of money. dont let it go for less than you want for it. everybody will low ball these cars. right now they dont get any respect but eventally they will. you car is very nice. glws.

this is a nice car!
if you think modifying devalues a car and stock is the way to go, you are wrong!
just watch the big auctions resto-mod, modified cars done nicely are selling for 3x the money of stock cars. i know thats what i do
but if you want a stock car, go for it, just stop saying modified cars are not worth it, they are.
again this is a very nice car! and yes I tried to buy it, snakeskinner changed his mind about selling!

There are many people who think their car is worth a mint, however, they're wrong. In this instance, the car is worth every penny.
Please though, do not compare it to a pro tour 60s Camaro in terms on being modded. Nothing of the like.

'Comparable to this one' is part of the equation. I have no idea, I haven't seen this car in person. However, none of the mods add value to the car, especially in the Corvette community. Corvette buyers generally want unmodified stock vehicles. And that goes for most other cars as well. If you are buying a Dodge Viper and have added a twin turbo system that cost you $10k, you haven't increased the value by $10k, you've lowered the value by about $2k because the value is in the originality of the car and the new owner will have to pay to remove the add-ons. The only way the twin-turbo system adds value is if it was done by, and documented as one from, Hennessey. In the Corvette world the same holds true for mods. Unless the mods were done by Callaway via factory or aftermarket it is hard to get a markup for those cars regardless of the increase to the inital cost of the car. There might be some luck with mods done by Mallet or DRM but it would be very little in the current market.
I'm sure the car above is great, and have no qualms with the price. I saw the price was outside the norm, so the logical question is how was the price arrived at. That's all.

All, not most people I know when they modify a corvette have it done the right way.....Just picture a guy taking his Z to maaco for a paint job...NOT !!!
A stock ZR-1 at 375-400 HP at nearly 3,600 pounds is crying to be modified..
In my opinion I would pay more money for a car that is modified than one that is not...
Different story if your buying a L-88 or a split window...All though resto mods are becoming popular and are bringing in real good money.....
Would I buy a twin turbo Viper ? Hell yeah, why not....These cars are made to perform....If its better than stock its worth more money...
