Default 6 Vettes? Need help

Hello, Looking for some c3 forum advice. I have an opportunity to buy 6 corvettes. I'd like some advice on values for each. All the cars are stored inside. None are trailer queens. They are mostly all drivers. Some matching #'s, some not, and no major documentation. Here they are: 68 327/4sp #'s match, vert, orig paint (so so), green/blk, hard top, build sheet, runs/drives
70 350/350hp/4spd #'s match, Marlboro red/tan, orig paint, build sheet, runs/drives
68 427/390hp/4spd CE block, White/Blk, repaint, no papers, runs/drives
68 427/390hp/4spd 396 block, no papers, in primer, Blk/blk, no papers, sounds strong, project
69 427/435hp/4spd trips 454 vert Green/tan, in primer, no papers, turns over, project
69 427/400hp/4spd trips #'s match, Yellow/Blk, repaint runs/drives
I know it's not all the info needed to make a real assessment. Just trying to see what the ballpark should be. Again, none are trailer queens and most are drivers. That's how I like them. Let me know.

The convertibles are identified with "Vert" in the descriptions, the coupes do not have "vert" in the descriptions.

Condition is everything. When you write "project" that could mean it will cost more to restore the car than it's worth. Without pictures it is almost impossible to determine the value.

I suggest you check out the Hagerty valuation tool and that way you can get an idea.

The projects are all together mechanically, body wise, and interior. One runs and drives. The other turns over fine. They are just in primer. Again, frame and bird ages are good. If that helps in giving your ballpark, let me know.
I looked at hagerty's.
Thanks for your input!
