1970 Corvette
I have a 1970 Corvette that has been sitting in the backyard (on concrete) for years under a tarp. It is all there. It needs restoration of interior replaced, paint job, tires. It ran when we parked it around 30 years ago. It is not a big block, not a convertible, and I do not know if the numbers match or what the mileage is.
I want to sell it but have no idea of a price to start with. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The biggest question mark here is the amount of rust. If there is substantial frame rust, we could be talking about a parts car here, they usually go for around $2500. If the chassis is in good shape, it could be worth substantially more.
The interior needing to be restored doesn't worry me too much, all the parts for a good restoration are available from the regular aftermarket suppliers, and that job can be done by your average hobbyist. The paint is expensive. Is it manual or automatic? Cars with manual transmission are usually more desirable.

Can you post pics? Without more info, the value is $5000 or less. I've said it a hundred times, it's worth what someone will pay...
