No surprises here.....The problem that I see with the current market is.....That most sellers have an average car but, want show ready prices, because the paint is new, or it has a new interior.
I was not privy to the entire article...but...I will say this....If, a seller is asking show ready pricing....the car better have had undergone a full body off / frame off resto for my monies.
The average pricing seems to fit better with most of the cars on the market today....without the add on adjustments. JMO!!!!!!!! Take what you like and then throw the rest away!!!!!!!!!!!
Stay in tune.....

Coupe prices are way too high. They are simply not selling for that kind of money.
And if the writer of that article wants to give me $58k for my show ready 69 350hp roadster, tell him I'll pick him up at the airport and buy him dinner first!

Got that issue sitting on my coffee table. 
I honestly doubt that if offered top dollar for my '75 that I'd take it.
I've sold too may things in life that I've been kicking myself for and I've learned from my mistakes.

The silver anniversary was little more than a paint job, on a std coupe. the pace car was different of course - and as said before - ALL C3 corvette coupes had t-tops

Why is the 78 base the least valuable? I don't have one, just wondering. I do have an 81 4 speed with alloys and paid no where near the TLC price. I guess I got a deal from the owner who needed some cash fast. 5k and I drove away, sometimes you just get lucky. Al

In the "Old Cars Report Price Guide", the prices are a reflection of the average of previous years "reported" private sales and collector car auctions.
I don't see those numbers in it and would use it for a guide before a magazine.
