$14,399 on a good day
To the right buyer
One who seeks such a 21 year old vehicle
In a somewhat desirable blue color
One who knows how to handle 350 HP in the form of a manual shifting
And. . . Can deal with a 2 seater - RWD - Car prone to electrical bug-a-boos and poor lighting from the sad Pop - up headlights

It depends on the current market prices where you're located. Are you planning to advertise it locally or nationally? Try looking at KBB.com or cars.com to get an idea of the current market prices in your area.

Just a guess, but somewhere in the $13-14K range would be about right. Could vary a bit depending on where you are located and what the market is there.

After 40 years of buying and selling for a living, I would warn you that anybody professing to know the specific value without seeing it or having a better description than you have given...has not a clue!

I disagree. A few clues were given by the OP. So they have a clue, but they may not be that accurate in their pricing.

OK, clue maybe but we agree without accuracy.

With the miles, color and FRCness - I would ask at least $20k if I were you.

The market is hot, make it hotter. Ask $22k and see what happens, you might see a quick offer that makes it worth the sale.

Worst you can do is go lower, but you can never start at $15k and work up to $18k...

Nice color. The ad sells the car. Lots of variables.

There were only 2,090 FRC Corvettes made in 2,000. The rarest Corvette model other than the 1953 and 1955....for whatever that's worth....

and one of the rarest colors, too.
i personally wanted an FRC instead of a Z06 for the gearing because i knew i was already going to improve the power & suspension.

I have not seen many non-Z FRC - leave alone one in Nassau Blue! This is after having the 19+18 TSW fitted - next up are the C6Z brakes...

yeah, i was convinced for a while that almost every FRC was freaking Pewter because over half of the ones i've ever came across were... but yeah, Nassau was a low-number color for all models. actually reminds me of a time capsule Nassau FRC with only a few miles on it that Vengeance recently had a customer bring in to get stripped/gutted as a race car conversion (but that's getting away from the point).

so to some, there's a justifiable subjectivity in pricing for some of the rarer configurations like this... but the car has to be in excellent condition to garner any sort of subjective mark-ups.

If condition matches miles, I would ask high teens if I was you. What part of the country are you located in? If you are serious, post it in the C5 for sale section. Also look at the ones posted in there for an idea of what they bring. Good luck!
