Of course, without getting into the millions of variables, from the hip I'd say a number two car $18K-$25K.
Share some pics, you'll get more precise numbers.

Unless #2 condition means the whole underside of the car looks like number 2.

I think an air car would be higher than these numbers.

No pics of car, haven't seen it yet.
Car has been frame off restored several years ago.
Car was a top flight car approx 5 years ago.
It has the dealer installed luggage rack which I'm not a big fan of.

What color is it - exterior/interior/top? Could be a $5000 price swing in my estimate.

Hi lc,

"Car was a top flight car approx 5 years ago."

Often getting a look at the Flight Judging sheets will offer some guidance as the what a person might be willing to/should pay for the car.
Are the sheets available to you?
Regards,
Alan

Not enough info provided, but in general, a nice stock air roadster? I don’t think 33 is terribly out of line.

hagerty shows a #2 71 roadster with those options as around 48K. of course it depends entirely on what your definition of #2 is. and finding a buyer willing to pay hagerty's estimate, which in general, is about 20% higher than what folks on this forum say a car is worth.

a top flight does not mean original engine.. which can skew the price +-25%. you do need to look at the judging sheets to see if it got points for the stamp pad.

Cool app!
Thanks for the recommendation!
Do you find the pricing to be fairly accurate?

It seems like a good starting point.

Btw, when I bought my 70' I used this app along with Corvette Black Book and a few other auto sites and shot the guy a number and my limited inspection skill and trusted my gut instinct. I may have got a good deal, I might have over paid but in the end I'm good with it. I now own it, have it stripped apart, can't decide what direction to go ( LOL ) but it keeps my mind busy instead of turning to mush. I hope I finish it and I hope it runs. Other than that it's all good.
Good Luck and enjoy whatever it is you buy. After all it's a "Corvette" and they don't write songs about Volvos.
