What could it be worth.
It's bought literally straight from the factory.
Fully restored what could it be worth.
And would it be worth more with all original fittings, colours etc..
I like the idea of bottom interior being white leather, with the half white and black leather seats (very sexy)
Original is all black.
Also rear lights are the Amber and red.
I'd prefer the White lights

Re: Original owner all black convertible
Welcome aboard! Any pics?
A well-sorted Z32 can pull $20k - but it's got to be original paint, low miles, etc.
A restored Z will likely be a poor investment unless you're keeping it. Significant mods detract from the value.

Welcome!
Agreed with AZhitman that a perfect condition Z32 COULD pull some decent $ in the right circumstances, but would have to be both original condition/low miles and also be serviced to current spec (120K, safety concerns)...difficult to do keeping original condition, but having to replace tires, service, etc. Then there are recommended upgrades such a injectors/harnessses for pre-'94's, etc. to consider, the OK-ish at best brakes especially on '90 cars, plus finding a reputable service source for these hard-to-work-on cars...this all makes the Z32 hard to see as a good investment at least in my opinion- more of a valuable fun car for YOUR enjoyment and the admiration from others.

Re: Original owner all black convertible
Just as an FYI, that right there (needing/doing body work) makes the car not original mint condition, and would not get the rating needed for a collectible car sale, even with new OEM panels. This makes it rebuilt/restored which isn't a bad thing except in the collectible car world and regarding value, desirability.
You need a Z32 with less than 10k miles and ALL original everything to even think about the $20k+ value range, and then comes year and options (MT/AT, slicktop, etc.) to have a truly appreciating value, if even not just holding a certain high level value considering the service needs if wanting to operate the car and not just put it back into the "time capsule" unmolested.
These are all the things that determine the true value of the car, and not just the condition or appearance of the car plus desirable mileage numbers.

Re: Original owner all black convertible
^ All that.
If you can't find an upholsterer in TJ, you're not looking very hard.
However, if it's in the condition that requires body work, upholstery, and mechanical repairs, it's not a $10k car (nor will it be).
Z32s that have been babied and garaged since new pull five figures. The rest are plentiful (and TT slicktop 2+0 are the most valuable).
