Hi K,
That looks like a pretty nice 72 car based on what can be seen in those photos.
Is the $12,000 to $15,000 what the owner is going to be asking, or is it what you're thinking of offering?
Regards,
Alan
I see 12-15k as low. I also would like to know, as stated above, is that what he is asking or what your offering? Id say 15-20k is what I would be asking for the car. 12k is what nice 74-82 Corvettes are selling for now a days.

Actually, if it were an automatic you may not have been far off. Here's a ball park figure from a phone app assuming we're calling it a driver and not excellent.

I believe he will likely be in 22 range Canadian. I'm not offering him anything as of yet until I see it in person Sunday. Trust me I'm used to goofs trying to low ball
me on cars so I won't be offending him. I am just doing due diligence before hand to find out what is a fair range from the C3 boys...once I read him and the car armed with your inputs I will will be in his ballpark.
I like the car based on photos but having the wrong paint, lowest HP option, high mileage and missing about $1k in correct parts, I'm trying to make a case for it.
The numbers matching engine, tranny and nice looking paint make it attentive as a low risk car assuming inspection Sunday pans out.
He also mentioned perhaps entertaining a trade for my survivor untouched 33k 1981 Z28 auto/AC so I want to see how the trade would balance out.
i love the z but have always been addicted to C3 since they were my first vettes. I know prices are always going to go up on original paint untouched Zs but all options are on the table
Hi K,
As I said, the car looks interesting in the photos.
If you're interested in a more or less original 68-72 car you need to be aware that the paint (however NICE it may be) in a color OTHER than the original, affects the car's value.
AGAIN, this is true for someone who is INTERESTED in ORIGINALLY, not someone who doesn't really care about the paint as long as they like the color, and it's well done.
If you decide you want the car to be the correct color the car's value is decreased by what YOU think it costs to paint a 72... WELL.
What does the trim tag indicate the original color for this car is?
It's really not possible to give you a responsible figure for it's value based on the very limited information and photos.

Alan

I will get more photos when I see it Sunday. It has typical aftermarket radio so need to see if they likely hacked up dash to fitnit in.
Hi K,
412 Blue Vinyl
979 Targa Blue
I think the color the car is now isn't too far off.
It's hard to tell how much (if any) of the center gauge bezel has been cut for the radio. Fortunately there's a reproduction bezel for 72 cars.

Alan
ADDED:
I just realized... when you said FORD you may have just been describing the color.
I THOUGHT you were saying it had been PAINTED a Ford color.
There MAY be no issue with the paint!!!!
