Pricing / values

[Lee Stewart]

Restored cars can be broken down as far as cost. The only difference in their pricing would be if the car has the original drive train. And that can affect the price by about 50%. For instance, a restored 1969 Z/28 NOM is around $75,000. With original drive train it jumps to $125,000.

As said, with a survivor, it depends on the condition. Saying original paint isn't enough. What's the condition of the paint? Does it show it's age or is it like brand new? And prices are all over the place. A 1967 L71 Corvette survivor can be as low as $80,000 or as high as $600,000.

Exactly right Lee. It's really quite difficult to nail down valuations of unrestored cars. That said, if given a choice of the very best restored car vs a super low mile time capsule, I will take the time capsule every time.
