80 value
I know you guys/gals probably get tired of seeing post like this but...
A lot of people have been asking me if I would sell my 80. I originally bought the car just to flip and buy another vette but didnt think about selling it until completed.
The car has a 350 with a mild cam. It runs and drives but it's far from a daily driver. The kick down cable needs to be hooked up and the fan needs to be bolted on or an electric fan put on it. The serpentine system is too high for the hood to clear along with the air cleaner hitting. The headlights are not hooked up and the drivers side floor pan has some rust. Driver side door need panel put back on and outside door handle linkage put on and some minor interior work. What do you think the car is worth as it sits now? It starts up easily every time.

As it sits the number will probably be lower than you want to hear.... I'll take a shot in the dark and say 5K. I'm sure you'll hear both higher and lower though. You'd likely make more profit by completing the car to basic driver status. I would be interested in your louvers on the back window if they're the Cragar wraparound ones. Willing to sell?

Not at the moment I wouldn't want to sell them. I got the car for a very good price and don't have too much in it. I was thinking around 5-6K is what it would bring as it sits.

tell the people asking to make an offer. if you like the number sell it. Most people who ask if the car is for sale are dreamers anyways,

"Value" The number will be far lower than you want to hear, I could buy several comparible c3's for 2000.00 - 3000.00. 5-6K buys a lot of c3 in this condition.
When a 80-82 gets to this state of project unless you get a dreamer with more $$$ than common sense the prices are scary low. ( sorry please dont hate me )

Oddly I hear so many people saying they get so many people wanting to buy their vette I never do, lol,
While I hate "make offer" ads in craigslist in this case, I would hit the fellow right back with "how much" if he makes a low ball reply "I said make an offer not an insult"
