What is it worth? Need quick help
Im moving from NY to Las Vegas for my two business and I wont be able to take my 82 Corvette with me 
Im not sure what its worth and im going to need to sell it in the near future If you guys could help me out I would really appreciate it.
Like I said before its an 82 Corvette which is all original and numbers matching. It has about 45,000 miles and there was a lot of recent work done.
Right now its sitting on a set of brand new Firestone Indy 500's
New carpeting all around
Dynamat
Insulation
All new brake system and a bunch of other things... I need to get the full list.
Anyway it does run and only has a problem when being held at 60+ mph. It starts to have a popping issue. Other than that under 60 mph it runs just fine.
There are no rust issues except for on the left side t top. The front left side is rusted due to bad weather stripping
The paint is old and cracking but is not to bad on the eyes for now. There is a fist sized hole in the nose of the body and im not sure where it is from. The bra is covering it right now. I will make sure I get some pictures of this issue soon.
Below are some pictures that I had on my phone. I know you probably need more info but what would you suggest I sell for?

Depending on how bad the hole in the nose is & the rust on the roof is i'm going to say:
$3,000 - $5,000 R A N G E ........

A lot depends on what's causing your "pop" while driving. I think if you fixed that and offered current photos you might get a better estimate. If it's just the t-top frame rusty and not the birdcage you won't lose much. My guess based on what I see would be $6-8K if selling in my area and if the "pop" gets fixed.
