Default Need help with pricing

Ok. So i have a 79 yellow Corvette that belonged to my brother that he was planning on doing some restoration to. He moved away around a year ago and i need to get rid of the vette. At the moment, the car is disassembled down to the body (carpet and all electrical removed). The body is in good shape with very few defects. The motor has been sitting around since he tore it down (around a year) so im not sure what condition it is in.
Some specs on the vehicle:
-79 corvette
-350 HO deluxe Crate Motor
-upgraded camshaft (specs are unknown)
-Upgraded valve train
-650 Holley Double pump mech. secondary carb
-Good condition wire harness ready to be installed (purchased from someone at this site)
-T350 Transmission with a 3k stall that had been rebuilt before tear down
- Twin electric 3500cfm fans
-Electric water pump


Now the frame is in good condition. The car ran great until he decided to start diving into her. He just never had the time to really complete everything. The car will need new wheels, a new dash and center consol, a new master brake and some misc parts.

Now i know this isnt the for sale section (i am not trying to sell it yet), but anyone have a ball park figure to what it would be worth?

I cant post any attachments (new member here with you guys) but i would gladly send a pic if someone needs to see if for further evaluation.

Thanks!

Need to know where you are?

With the car being torn apart you may be better off selling parts as opposed to a complete vehicle. More work for shipping but more $ yield potential. Otherwise you need to find someone local to pick up.
