Default How much?

Selling my dads 1967. How much should I ask? I was thinking $70-80K.

1967 Roadster. Goodwood Green, tan interior.Top Flight car. Chevy Vette Fest Gold Spinner. 327/300. Matching numbers. 38k ORIGINAL miles on it. Frame off done in 1991, only 2,000 miles were put on the car since. car looks like the frame off was just done last week. Spotless, no dirt, dust, rust, scratches or blemishes to the paint. Always been a trailor queen.

Family friend wants to buy it this weekend, I just need a starting price to work with.

Ask me for details if you want, I will reply when I wake up Saturday. Been up for 48+ hours. Good night.

Thanks,
Rick

$70000-$80000 there is a big difference between the two. Either way, it sounds high to me. 300hp good green any options? I would guess around $65000 +- because of the awards. But $70000 you are entering a different level. I maybe totally wrong, but if the car was red, black, blue or silver you might get up there but how often do small HP cars get that high of dollar?

I'm looking at a 67 327/350HP right now that needs minor work to be a judgeable car and we're in the high 40's. So I figure if I do the work it needs I'm in the high 50's to mid 60's. It's a documented 67 numbers matching etc etc and I am confident with the seller. So I agree that the 60's side of the equation is probably the right side to consider.

I think $65,000 is a good starting price. Maybe if you get lucky you would get a buyer at $70,000. But $70,000 is very high for a 300hp vette.

Low 60's because it is a top flight car with low miles. It is a base motor car. I think 70's would be a stretch. Sounds like a beautiful car though.

Here's one for comparison, it was bid up to 61,100 and
did not sell - reserve not met. It's currently listed again.

Dam! Three Deuces on a Small Block.

Just curious about something. How does a 67' small block Corvette become a Top Flight car with this carb setup?

She Top Flight'ed without them. Originally a 327/300. Before the tri-power, she was a 327/350. The 3 dueces were added 4-5 years ago, just to have fun.
You guys rule. You obviously know it's not a real tri-power. You know the sticker is fake, reading 327-400hp.

When at Corvette shows, the Corvette ***** are quick to point out it's incorrect and a "wrong car".What makes it wrong? Because it's not like yours?
We maybe have had 5 people since that look at it, smile and say "Thats a nicely done mod"
