What is it worth?
I am picking up a 68 Corvette Convertible.
It has sat in a garage for 20 years and is a super clean shell. There is no frame, no interior, no top frame. Just a complete body including nose and hood...it also does not have doors.
It appears to have never been hit and was a standard shift car. It was LeMans blue according to the jambs and the paint code.
I will likely be putting it up for sale.
Thanks in advance for your input.
Regards

I will have pics soon, it will not be a few hundred bucks, but have not figured out a price yet.
I do not have a title, but am sure it can be titled through a title company.
Definitely seems to have been blue on blue.
I would guess a white top..

Not a whole lot of demand for an entire body. Most Corvettes have frame issues and frames are highly desireable in good working condition. If someone had a rollling 68 chassis then the body you have would be a real find. Your job is to find that person. A couple of hundred may not be too far off. If you wanted to built the car just work backwards. Paint $7000, Full interior$2000, rolling chassis $7000 if you pay $1000 for the body you now have $17,000 invested in a 68 along with a couple of hundred hours of work and no title. Not very much return on that investment.

Complete original non-hit 68-72 nose with headlights, hood, and wiper door is worth $3000 or so. The rest of it, a few hundred. Without doors clean title body it is also ideal for a restomod 69 vert with LS power, C4 suspension......
