1972 Corvette Stingray

Hi everyone,

Sadly, I need to sell my 1972 Corvette Coupe. Where could I get an accurate assessment for the value of the car? I have tried Kelley Blue Book but it keeps telling me the VIN is not good.
I have the vehicle title which shows the VIN so I am not understanding why it is not recognized. I have tried other Corvette businesses and the VIN is not recognized on their websites either.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks.

The VIN is good but it's 13 digits and modern VINs are 17 digits that's why I believe it's not recognized.

consider Corvette Buyer's guide from Corvette Magazine, or Hagerty online valuation guide. By the way I'm in the market for a chrome bumper car.

Download Corvette DNA. That’s a good reference.

You can also check the listings on multiple collector or "classic" (anything older than 20 years seems to be a classic now) car websites to see asking prices on comparable cars.

Take dozens, if not hundreds of pictures, and post it for sale on Bring a Trailer.

The price it sells for is the market price.

You can also try Haggerty's for an estimate.

You should ask a moderator to move this thread to C3 general discussion.

Love that silver. When you get a chance, what options does it have and what needs attention? Thanks.

Bring a Trailer is also a good place to see what stuff is selling for.

Not sure why this thread was never moved, but this thread is apparently asking to help set an asking price. I’ll move this to General Discussion and it can be treated as a What’s it Worth thread for the OP to determine an asking price.

Members, please do not attempt to purchase the car in this thread any further.

OP, when you determine an asking price, then go ahead and start a new for sale thread in the For Sale section and sell the car.
