I don’t know. That price already exceeds the used value of my car and my car is so much more than that car...

My car isn’t perfect by any means. But it’s so livable and fun—all at the same time.

Oh, I read in the auction description that the fender tag showed it left Detroit as a green car.

Totally missed the resto mod.

I'll look for some pictures of my friends original one. I've driven and rode in it many times . . .his could seriously use some suspension/steering resto mods, but he insists on keeping it stock

Good point, my bad ... yes definitely cooler if it had the modern LT1

For the Z3, I think BaT might be fun. CCA is probably the best bet, but my guess is that it won't move quickly there (and you're coming up on fall, which isn't the best time to sell a convertible, anyway).
Well BAT made the decision for me. I submitted it today with a reserve requirement and got the "we don't feel this is a good fit for our site" response. Oh well.
