Default Mint 1987 C4 Survivor

Trying to figure out what this car is worth. Its an 87 with 26K miles on it and it is absolutely perfect in every way. I have literally have never seen anything like this in my life. My father in law bought it from the original owner and there isnt a scratch on it. Everything works perfect, there isnt 1 bit of wear on the seats or any part of the interior. It has the solid Blue top and the Blued glass top that has never been on the car. The car has the original tires on it (which obviously have flat spots). No nics or scratches in the paint, no door dings, no rock chips. Purely based on the condition it looks like a car that might have 5000 miles on it. I will get some pics up soon but any ideas what something like might be worth would be greatly appreciated.

Pretty sweet. Based on market around here it should be in the lower teens. Altho its a very nice NCRS quality car its still a 25 years old with limited collectability. Even the color combo doesnt make it any more "rare". Unless the buyer plans to show it I would get some new tires and drive the **** outa it.

It looks like the inserts on the wheels are painted blue.

My old 84 was blue/blue.

It's actually more common than you might think.

I wonder if they were special ordered from the factory?

I've never seen any other color than black before.

not a special order - 84-85 wheels were black, 86, natural silver, and 87 should be a gray metallic as in the cars centercaps. looks like someone painted those after delivery.

Nice. Looks EXACTLY like mine except for the blue on the wheels, and my breadloaf is replaced. Mine has 39K miles.

my 87 was blue/blue when I got it , but was pretty well trashed, now , thanks to a catholic priest who felt guilty bout spending church money on a vette, its black/green/black, but thats a whole 'nother story.

I don't think it was a mid-year change. My '87 was built in Oct '86 and is those colors.

That thing is beautiful. I would pay mid-teens for it. It could easily be an out-of-the-box show car.

She's a beauty. I love that color combo. Not too crazy about the painted wheels. If it was mine, that would be corrected immediately.

I kinda like 'em. They're tastefully done and match correctly. I've seen some that are tacky and would have to go, but these look great.
