Telling us what year it is would help quite a bit.

Also if its coupe or convertible, original engine and if the colors match the trim tag.

This may give you a ballpark idea. Sounds like your car may be a condition 3? Guessing, no pictures.

Completed transactions from eBay may give you a better idea providing the cars are in similar condition.

Mileage is 30K? Or is it 130K? Or possibly 230K? Makes a big difference. The Vette odometer re-zeros after 99,999. But one should be able to tell with photos of the car.

When you claim that a 34 year old car has only 30k miles on it, You need to be able to prove it.

This is correct for the original poster your interior, windshield if it's original will tell the story. Along with other wear areas.

Not to us. He/she only asked for a value. A potential buyer might be interested in verification.

I agree on that part unless the potential buyer doesn't care or doesn't know how to tell.

He didn't say he was offered 10K, he said he was offered under 10k. Could be well under 10k.
