And they may still be right--remember, these prices are on paper only. I paid about 2/3 of what they say my car was worth, and got about 1/2 of their "value" out of it--not mentioning everything I did to it . . .

I'd love to know where they get their numbers from. It ain't from the person-to-person secondary market.

...the best deal there is right before I eyes and I did a double take when I saw it. Surely it'd rank right up there with the '69 ZL-1, but the car I'm talking about is the value of the 1977 L-88!!!

....those things must really be freakin rare, as in all my Corvette travels in the last 20yrs or so I've yet to see a '77 L-88. Surely they came with an optional automatic & A/C???

...it's only $1500 higher than a standard L-48 car-what a bargain.

I got one , Paul. I've got it listed on eBay right now along with a bridge I'm wanting to unload.

I take PayPal.

Good reference info, thanks. Some of these one-year appreciations are better than current average market returns!

I wonder how much actual sales info was used in coming up with this.
For example, to the typical buyer there is not much difference between a 79 and an 80, yet there is a $3500 diffference for "good condition".

I'm ok with that, but don't know why specifically that it.
Probably because it is last year of that body style. In '78 they changed the back of the car.
