1981 corvette value?

Im selling my 81 vette. it has 86,500 original miles on the body. the engine is not original. The engine is a 71 LT1 block/heads bored .30 over with a 85 fuel infection. the new engine has around 6000 miles on it since the re-build. the interior is in alright condition. the carpet is a little faded/dirty but still looks good, especially with the wood trim kit and steering wheel. the paint also is in good condition, a few small rock chips on the hood. the front nose piece has some spider web in the paint . but the whole car is glossy and has a real nice shine. I am asking 11,000 OBO. Is that about the right price? If not what kind of offers should i expect?

any help would be nice

Thanks!

Tough to say without pictures, but by your description I'd say you are in the right ballpark.

N.A.D.A and then Blue Book compare your value to them and then adjust accordingly.
