Hi, I am an old corvette owner and I'm thinking about selling it as my 32 year old son prefers trucks. I have had my 1979 red corvette for 37 years and put 16,250 miles on it, It's in great shape but other than the color and the fat wheels, I am not much of a mechanic. I am a mother who taught 2nd grade for 38 years and went crazy and bought a corvette before I got married. I love the car but getting in and out is not as easy as it used to be. I have all the original paperwork so I can tell anyone the details. It does have a t top. (the little old schoolteacher part is true). I am looking for any information about what a fair sale price would be should I pull the trigger and sell it. Thanks for any help.
Linda

You may want to post your question in the C3 section for a better response. You also will get a better response if you post a lot of pictures of each area of the car.

For a potential value, you could use the amount being assessed for tax purposes. You could also post pics of your car here on the forum.
