about 4k, ... but it is not about the initial project cost.
do you have the skills, shop space for frame off, time, funds, and desire ?
have you done restoration work before? corvette parts are not cheap.
also no motor so no # matching car, if that matters.
this looks like about 2-3 year project for 1 skilled Restoration person.
I have completed 2 very rough Projects 1969 corvette Restorations.
Holler if you have questions.

 

Thanks for input. Will be selling but, wasn't sure of a fair asking price. Would prefer to sell all together but, as a '68 it does a lot of one year parts.

 

thats true, on the 68.
maybe 6k, with missing front clip and no motor/tranny.
you got to find the right buyer, like me !

 

Being a early 68 (Oct. 67) owner, I think 6k is a bit optimistic. From what I see and knowing whats involved in a nut and bolt restoration, 3k would be a more realistic value to the masses. Most buyers interested in this type of commitment will probably have a full time job and possibly a family. Not your concern but a 2 year restoration again is a bit optimistic. Im at year 7 or 8 and the body and frame are in different locations in my garage. All I am saying is a serious person will be giving serious thought so to sell you do not want to get overly aggressive in you itital asking price. Of course all this is my opinion. Others with have theirs. Good luck.

 

I agree with the above. Missing drive train and front may or not matter much to some, there are many parts included, but many may not usable. One needs to remember that if someone is restoring this car they will not want to use some of the parts that may be driver quality at best. Just throwing this out there as it just makes the cost escalate.
I work on my 69' part time during the summer and not at all in the winter, takes a lot of time.

 

I'm trying to split the difference between reasonable and ridiculous.

 

I agree with the above as well. I am also an early 68 owner, January 68 and when went and looked at the car that I eventually bought it was in a similar condition as the OPs car. It was completely disassembled, the front clip was off and had been heavily damaged in an accident. Lots of parts were in boxes and plastic storage bins so no way to tell for sure what was there and what was not. The remainder of the body was in poor condition, but the birdcage looked solid and the frame had been powder coated along with new suspension and brakes to include new rotors, rebuilt calipers and new brake lines. Aside from that the car came with the original M20 Muncie and freshly redone 427. Considering what had been done to the car and what it came with, I bought it. The seller was asking $8500 and after negotiating we settled on $7000. Since I bought it a little over two years ago I've replaced the front clip, rear clip and new door skins. Many parts that came with the car weren't usable and some parts weren't even from a Corvette. Do I think it was worth it? Yes, but I saw the potential and was looking for a project car. Since the OPs car is lacking a drive train and the front clip, my guess would be 3 to 4K to the right buyer as 69VETT stated.
