Old STYLE
All the above is great info! But lets not forget the old fashion way, a for sale sign in the window. If the vette looks good, and your driving down the road it might just sell itself. Its true it wont be seen as much as the web, but you never know; the guy or gal at the stoplight might be the next owners! Still post with the above info, but a sign couldnt hurt. Good Luck!(pepsiman).

EBay and Craigslist....and here of course!
I've sold several cars on ebay and always built myself a website (using Yahoo or whatever) with TONS of pictures and descriptions, documenting what history I knew, repairs, mods, and restoration I had done. I put a LINK to the website on my ebay auction/Craigslist posting. Its a fair amount of work (not really) but it can be pretty impressive, especially to a high dollar shopper/buyer (and thats what you want!). You can link to alot of informational resources in your website, which buyers appreciate. I sold a 67 Landrover for $24k and a 78 Land Cruiser for $22k using this method. Both were on ebay, but I ended up selling to folks OFF of ebay. Ebay gave me the cheap access to millions of lookers. I always got high dollar, and the seller has always said it was because of the website.
Good luck!

Depends on how special it is.
In my days I have seen the internet make 5000 cars worth ten times that lol
I noticed people at shows like Carlilse... usually ask top dollar and then some. They drop the price a little to make the buyer happy and make out like a bandit.
As long as the paint shines and the engine purrs , someone will buy it

Depends on who you want to sell it to. If you don't mind your car going to the guy with the deepest pockets, sell it on ebay. If you want a corvette person to have it, I'd look to sell it here. Personally I'd rather get a little less and know it goes to a good home, but thats just me. I like my cars.
