What's it worth? 76 corvette
This is mine, just wondering what people thought it was worth. Recent paint job, new stingray badges, new floormats with the stingray emblem in brown matching the interior, new console shift plate, new a/c faceplate. 75k original miles, power windows, a/c, power steering, all of which work, and soon to have sidepipes, engine bay needs restoring, motor is bone stock original. It also has the rear defogger/defroster. Just trying to get an idea of market value.

And soon to have these stainless steel badboys on there

Love that avatar!!
If you're not selling it, it has no market value. Since you've posted this in 2 sections, it seems you're drumming up some interest to sell it and are trying to get an idea of what someone is willing to pay for it.
Since you're "not selling" it, then it has no market value. Until you put it up for sale(i.e. on the market), it's worth is subjective to current market forces, and the scrutiny of forum member purists. That's why you're going to be disappointed in the range of answers you are getting.

I have just started to watch the C3 prices (getting bored and need another toy). It seems that 8-10K is where a good condition auto asking price is in my area.
I can't say if they are getting what they ask but I doubt it right now.

My first instinct told me 8K too. It looks reasonably clean. Alot of the value might depend on the quality of the paintwork.
I would probably deduct from the value after you install the sidepipes.
If it was an L82 or even L48 4 Speed in a nicer color, or an earlier year Z07 car, it would be worth more obviously.
This is one case where a color change may have actually increased the value.

Actually, I would have considered a brown '76 whereas I wouldn't have given a white or red one a second-glance.
To the right person, I agree; it's worth about $7k, give or take, though it'd be a stronger-sale if you'd taken care of the wavy urethane when you did the paint.
Until you find the right person who would like that year and color, you wouldn't be able to sell it for just about any price.
