Help - what is my big block worth?

I know it is not a tech/perf question, but I have a wealthy neighbor who would like to buy my baby, and I need help establishing a price. It is a 1970 LS5 convertible, black leather interior, white top, ac, power steering, power brakes, shoulder belts, alarm, 4 speed, power windows, hardtop, all numbers matching, 80k original miles, very good condition, former Top Flight and Bloomington Gold. Everything works perfectly. Paint is good but imperfect, a few chips, some slight spider web cracks and wavyness on the fender. Photo's at www.aneso.com/vette Thanks for your opinions!!!

Given that, may I politely request that you don't dilute the content of the technical forum by posting non-technical money/investment questions. There are other forums for that.

Thank you.

If he's wealthy is he really concerned about bargaining a few grand?

Well if he is spending almost 90k on a LS5 C3 that has, "a few chips, some slight spider web cracks and wavyness on the fender" he is not going to be rich very long....

Nice car, and don't take this the wrong way, but if you can get 90K for that, go for it...........

Great car...nice looking. Too much money. Sneaky way to get people to look at your ad, though.

Thanks for everyone's opinions. Sounds like it is worth somewhere around 60. I'll ask 70 and hope he says no. Thanks again.

If he has lots of "dough" and really wants it....and you really DON'T want to sell it, you should tell him $80K. If he buys it, you won't be as unhappy, anyway.

Sell it to him for your asking price and then put you house up for sale. Don't leave a forwarding address.
