It sounds pretty fair for your friend!!!
LT5 is one of my favorite engines of all time.

yeah, he’s more than a little happy about this. The engine alone is worth that much probably.

4

sweet!

5

Ugly car
Interesting motor
16.5k still sounds fair

It’s a rare car I don’t know how many people think its cool however which would impact the price a lot.

Cars lose value look at newer M5s they were 80k brand new and can be had in the 20s now

6

seller is a dumb-ass for not setting a reserve price.

7

What are these supposedly worth?

8

30-40…

here is just an engine with 10 bids so far already at $10k

I think these might pull a bit a of a porsche 993 and go way up in a few years (ZR1 only). They only made like 6900 total over all the years.

and just for 91MR2, this car was somewhat developed by Lotus.

9

In what world :lol:

It’s like a 20k car

Check the Corvette forums 20k is a reasonable amount for one of these

The motor you posted have 0 bids the asking price is 10k people made lower offers they didn’t accept.

10

you’re right, I skimmed it a little fast, it had 9 offers and hte buy it now was 10k.

I guess these have dropped a good big more than a thought, last time I was seriously looking at them was probably 5 years ago. I still think they are awesome and he got a great price.

11

i’ve been looking at corvettes of all iterations for the past several months. this is a good deal for this model, but nothing earth shattering. nice buy though :tup:

12

Also doesnt help that it has damage/acident info on the autocheck report in 1991.

13

meh

14

The seller paid like 22ish in 2008 (plus Barrett fees probably). I wouldn’t have been that pissed at that sales number

15

sorry to hear

16

Am I the only one that thinks your friend paid too much? :giggle:

17

One of the worst looking vettes ever made :lol:

The other thing is that HP number was a lot at that point in time but with the C5, C6, C7 :tif:

18

The car is well worth the $16500. The LT5 engine was a masterpiece for its time and is still a sweet engine.

19

These cars are actually kind of cool. 4 cams 16 injectors. They accelerate decently as well. Especially for the era they were built in

20

Nobody said it was worth less then that :slight_smile:

It’s just not a 30-40k car like mentioned
