Probably not a lot, in good shape worth a bit to someone looking for the correct casting, especially if the julian codes are a believable match.
I like quadrajets though... worth more to me than a holley.

It's worth about $50-75 as a core unit...the higher value if all the parts are there. But, it's worth more to you as a 'correct' original carb, if you have the factory intake manifold it came with. If rebuilt properly, its a MUCH better carb than whatever you have on the car now.

If you still have the 74, why not keep the original QJet?

You're looking for a 7044XXX. There were 9 different q-jet models for the '74 corvette. The most valuable will be the LS4 454ci quadrajet models - 7044221, 7044225, and 7044505.

You can Google my name, Lars Grimsrud, or Google "Tuning for Beer" to pull up the Tuning Tour Seminar Series info. You can also check me out on Wikepedia. (Note that my son's name is the same, but I don't have a Facebook page...).
