Default 71 Convertible Pricing

Hi Everyone. I am considering buying a 71 Convertible 350/270 matching #'s, 4 speed. Was trying to find out what the group thinks the current market is for a driver quality (very solid 3 car) that really doesn't need anything. Everything I can tell about it is that its just pretty solid all the way around. I know this is a loaded question, but just trying to get some initial perspective. Thanks to all who respond.

Try the phone app "Corvette DNA" for a general idea.

Just for the heck of it, I will say "$20,000 to $30,000" depending on mileage, originality, condition, color, paperwork and options. I realize that is a big range and a lot of variables...

$17k is a real transaction number for a base engine vert 4 speed IMO. Adjust up or down from there for the eye appeal. Hard to know more without pix.

A number 3 car. Is a 3 a car that needs paint chips and seat upholstery? Or body mounts and frame replacement? I think 3 is a very wide category.
