75k makes sense if your a car collector...if it was me id take a base t/a with little miles for 20k and take the 50k i saved and get a TT setup that puts down 900horses......

Not worth anywhere near $75k to me but to some car collector it may and probably will be.

That... doesn't even have much mods to it. Worth $40k max. You could get a stock car like that and make it much, much faster for a lot less money, or just get a new Z06.

I know what you mean but the 1 of 1 will sell it? I guess some people want the only one out there? It doesn't seem fun sitting in a showroom. they're meant to drive with this kind of HP.

i understand the collectability of that thing, maybe in 30 years it would be worth that much. just look at the yenko's and baldwin motion cars. but not this early. i wish i could get my dealership to install a bunch of stuff on my ride then badge it and jack the price 200% that would be awesome!

Yea man, 30 yrs is a long time. Cars like that are meant to be driven whether it's a collector or not. Especially with that kind of power, it really needs some street time. We only live once.

Over 18,500 miles and he wants $75k? with that many miles he'd be lucky to get $35k for it.

If it had 185 miles on it...then maybe $65K
