Default parts value

Need help determining value of car/parts. We have a 68, T-Top, 327 with #s matching and all original. The only thing missing is factory air. Body looks good, but wrong color. Problem is it is a rust bucket and hubby doesn't want to deal with it so I'm trying to decide what to do with it. Let's just say most of the metal is rusty and flaking and we won't drive it because it make break in two. Anyone have any idea as to value? Should we part it or sell as needing ground-up restore?

You posted in the Help & Feedback section.That section is for help with the website itself (forum account issues, forum issues, website issues, etc.). You will receive a better response in the appropriate Corvette specific section.

I'll move your thread to the most appropriate Corvette specific section.

Good luck!

Need a lot more info. Pics, Pics, and Pics. Rust bucket for parts $3000, maybe....You would make a lot more parting it out, but you said it need to be restored which means most parts are worn/damaged.

Tell us more about the car...auto or 4 speed? 300HP? 360HP? Where are you located? Photos of the frame, interior and engine bay would allow for less speculation, more calculation. Thanks for asking us, and welcome aboard!
