About to make an offer for a 1969 X77 car in need of restoration. I understand many factors make the price, but I have no idea what it is worth. Any ideas what price is fair from low to high?. Engine, 4-speed trans, rear-end and interior are all there. Currently backed into a small garage with 4 flat tires. Don't want to offer too low and don't want to over-pay as well. All comments greatly appreciated.

Welcome.
You haven't posted nearly enough information to venture a guess.

Thank you. This was a long shot post but thought I would try. I know I need more info such as cowl-tag, casting numbers and overall inspection for a starting point. Block stamping needs to be verified as well. I wanted to get a few numbers from members of a general price range. This is just to see the price range in today's market.

There is also the factor of the condition of the body, floors, and suspension. If it is real, all there, and easily restorable, you are money ahead. Yesterday, I saw a white 69 rs/z28 in nice shape, (according to photos), advertised for 75,000. Was that a good buy?
Who knows. A Z11 convertible is much rarer, yet they don't fetch Z prices.

Price varies by place, as well as the shape the car is in, and model (Z, RS, SS, ETC)

Cali car, black tags, "real" Z, "clone" Z, number matching drivetrain, Non-numbers matched, and all this with just a front end shot....

too big a swing to guess....$10K to $50K

Yes. Need more info to make a guess on value.

From the only picture the 1st thing I see is probably had major front end damage. The fenders fit terrible and the grill has been replaced. Minor buy Z28 emblem is installed in the wrong location.

Tags and numbers need to be verified as correct and REAL.

From there the way I determine a project's value is estimate the restored value and deduct the cost of labor and material to restore it. That leaves the approx. value. If it does not have the original engine or documentation it's harder to prove what it was. 69 Z 28's are the most faked cars in history.

No such thing as offering too low. Ask the seller what he wants for it. If he won't give you a number then walk.

If you can buy it right and do most of the work yourself it might be worthwhile. When you complete your estimate to restore double it and you'll be close.

Thank you very much for your time and efforts to provide this information. Thus far, this response has been most helpful to me as I plan to further pursue this possible buy. I will find out much more when the guy invites me to inspect the car after dragging it out into the sun. Your estimate theory make sense as well. Again, thank you.
