Default What's my 1966 vette worth?

Hello, I am new to the corvette world. I have waited for a decade to buy my dream vette. The vette I bought is a n.o.m., 1966 convertible with a hardtop, with sway bars for a 427 big block car originally. Rebuilt original tranny. It has a 327-350 hp. Frame is extremely clean. It's a Texas car that I got in Georgia. I'm just curious realistically what it is worth. Body and paint are very good, new paint. Runs great, looks great. Original radio and clock not working.

You just bought it. How much did you pay? Do you think that it is worth more or less. Your description is not enough to give an good answer. Add some photos and a more detailed description and you may get an answer you like.

It's worth what the seller was willing to take and obviously worth what you just paid for it, because you bought it.

Enjoy it and post up some pictures.

Doug,

That must have been a long time ago. $3,000.00 for a 65/67 vette in good condition would have everyone jumping on it. Even if it was a SB converted to BB.

Ultimately - this is the only answer to that question.

I hope you didn't buy it sight unseen, which (without pictures) is what you are asking us (in effect) to do.

Maybe he was hoping it would be worth more by now.

This is a really tough car to value. Too many changes from original.

I still like Hagerty and they say the average '66 convertible is at $45,000. That's about what's being said here.
