Why? The price guides might sell magazines, but you shouldn't take them too seriously.

This April 10 Corvette Mag c3 market report was ready for the recycle bin but since you asked:



For some reason, I kept the market reports dating back to January 06.

Looking at the value for a run of the mill 78 the report places a value of an average car at $8500. (+$2000 for L82)

In oct 06 = $8800

In June 07 = $8800

In March 08 = $9200

In Oct 08 = $9200

In June 09 = $9200

and in this issue $8900

Average means street driven. Of course if you have new paint, parts, etc,etc. then the value increases. Hope your wife is

I have looked at the different magazine sites to see if they had the price guides but was unable to find anything. Anyone got links?
