Corvette Value guide:
"Any price guide is just that, "a guide". Vehicle condition, especially with collector cars, is critical to establishing a value. Presented here are values for all models of Corvette from the first to the last model year. Estimates are based on auction results, car corral sales, private transactions, personal observations by our field reporters, conversations with Corvette specialty dealers & franchised Chevrolet dealers, etc. Newer models produced in the last 5 years or so, High mileage is determined as anything more than 15,000 miles per year, on the average. High mileage late model corvettes are typically discounted 5-10%."
Parts car:
A vehicle that is about 60% or more complete, has desirable components, such as it’s driveline, and some reusable fiberglass body parts, as well as instruments, seats, glass, etc. Vehicle is not restorable due to sever body deterioration, frame rust, vandalism, damage, etc. and is useful only for parts.
Restorable:
A vehicle that is fairly complete, has all the key components, is essentially original with a numbers matching engine (where applicable, starting in the 1960 model year) and is restorable. May or may not be operable, and could be missing some major parts, but not to the point of being useful only as a parts car.
Driver:
A presentable,operable vehicle with all major systems functional, A street quality Corvette, possibly a daily driver in nice climates.Would need at least a cosmetic restoration to be show quality, but is fully serviceable as-is. Also a solid car worthy of restoration.
Very good:
An older restoration that is still presentable, or an amateur restoration of local show quality.Vehicle is complete, fully operational and ALL major systems function properly.Needs no major repairs; body,paint,interior or mechanics. Codes and numbers are correct, still has original engine.
Restored/Show
A high point authentic restoration of a soild Corvette. Show quality with FULLY detailed engine compartment,Undercarrige, and interior.All mechanics & componentsin perfect working order. NEEDS NOTHING.Codes and numbers are correct, still has original engine.
