Default Whats it worth?

I will be selling this car soon and wondering if I could get a ball park figure of what you think its worth. I will get pics up tonight.
I bought the car with intentions of building a track car.
2000 Corvette FRC 6 speed manual. North Carolina Salvage Rebuilt title. Silver on Black, 120k ish miles. Runs great and drives nearly perfect. Not perfect as it has miles on it. Was very light light front hit, no frame damage, have pics and reciepts for documentation. Would make the perfect track car/ resonable driver/ touring car.
Let me know what you think its worth. Looking for a fairly quick sale, when I pull the trigger.

Since it's a FRC it would be Pewter unless someone did a color change. I would figure around 10k if it's in decent shape.

Sorry, It is Pewter. You are correct. I am not real knowledgeable with corvettes. At the 10k, do think this would be a quick sale or am I going to have to sit on this thing for a while.

Salvage title will make it nearly impossible to sell.
If you get an offer for $10K I'd take it.

for what its worth, not many folks will believe the car had light frontal damage and ended up with a salvage title.

$8500-$9000 it will be gone in a few days. It's an FRC and for a track car that would be a great value!

10 years old, 120k miles, salvage title, time of year; If you can get 10k I'd take it in a heart beat.
Good luck.

The latest edition of Corvette Fever has an article on buying C5's and C6's. According to the article the FRC cars are not considered a hot ticket. As stated earlier if someone offers $10k jump on it. With the salvaged title and 120k miles start at 10k and then you can always come down.
Good luck.
