Default 1976 vette info

I got a 1976 vet as part of an estate sale and need info. It will be part of an auction at the end of april and i was wandering what to expect from it. It would be a parts car only i think. Very rough hood and body have no damage. The engine is not locked, is not locked. has all original ac delco stuff under the hood. body not bad.No paint, no rear bumper or lights. interior very rough. has L-48 near automatic gear stick. Just wandering what it might bring in the auction even for a parts car.

Thanks,
BArry

You can expect almost anything at auction time.

pictures would get better info, 76 is the last year they put the 'stingray' logo on the front fender, but they made a bunch of them, 47,000 I think. The po I got mine from only paid $800

With limited info, I would think the most to expect is around $3000, and it could be as little as $500 if it's not advertised very well. All it takes is two bidders. 76 automatic L48 all fixed up tops out around $12-$15 thousand. The paint job alone will cost minimum of $4000.
