    about 3- 4 thousand right now if its in real good shape,the mileage don't hurt it because its probably been kept up engine wise ,the original engine wouldn't have lasted that long without being worked on,so id say its probably worth about 3500 right now,good luck with it.

    No the Z never came with a big block. They did put them in 1970 and 71 Camaro's so the parts are out there to do it. How much? Not cheap. Average price starts at $5000

    Hi.......Condition is everything!!!! If it runs and drives and looks good, i'd buy it for $700 anytime. The motor might not last much longer though, its got alot of miles on it. Hopefully the interior is in good shape too, and the a/c works. Sounds like a deal to me.......i could sell that car for $2000-4500 around here pretty easily. Depending on condition. Good Luck!! email me if you wanna sell it!!!

    Not a whole lot if it it's a '78. Now if was a '68 Z - $10k-15k, as is. In the late 70's-mid 80's american cars sucked bad.

    if it is still pretty solid (not much rust) then you should get it, it is probably worth at least $2000-$2500. maybe more. and that engine is very easy to rebuild. so i wouldn't worry so much about the high miles.
