Would you pay extra for an LE1 Z28?

There is a local car up for sale, 99 Z28, black, 6 speed, with the LE1 package (stripper car with no options) apparently only like 55 made in 99 and only 14 were black like this one. Would you pay extra for this package or still offer around normal price? Car has 79K miles on it, he is asking 8,000 I told him I can only do 7K. This sound fair?

Car has pacesetter headers, y pipe, flowmaster exhaust, but doesn't have cats. Does 7 cash sound about right?

It's Called 1LE and it is the Factory Autocross option. Only available on M6 cars.
Basically has SS spec suspension with Koni double adjustable shocks.

Thank you for correcting me, obviously I am new to the LS1 scene. Is it worth extra money? The car already has longtubes, catback, intake, and a shifter.

It's worth whatever you're willing to pay for it.

I wouldn't pay extra for an "exclusive" car like that. That is worth zero extra in the real world. All you're getting is still a run-of-the-mill F-body.

Take it for what it's worth.

True, too bad it has headers without cats. Seem slike I may end up grabbing a stock 98 Z

I wouldnt pay extra.

Personally id see them being a equal value to all the other cars, as you dont have the comforts of PW, PL etc etc.

The true "Factory Race car" 1LE package died in 1992.

The '86-'92 1LE Camaro's & Firebirds were truely something special, with bigger brakes, different steering, springs, Dual baffle fuel tank, aluminum driveshaft, 9 bolt, a/c delete, etc. They were far more then a completely stripped SS
