77 Corvette worth
 
What do you guys think a 77 is worth? It has the L-82 motor and all factory options. 6000 orginal miles, the cars has been all gone through and is in mint condition. Thanks for your input.

$15000-$17000 depending on what mint condition means!

rjr2007 12-02-2010 08:45 PM

Looks like it's new

What documentation do you have that proves it's 6,000 miles NOT 106,000 ?

I don't know of too many people willing to part With $17,000 for a 1977 no matter WHAT the deal is............. !!!

WOW! 6,000 miles not even broke in yet. Got any pic's?

Yes the car has all paper work to prove the miles. I offered them $15000 and thats the highest I will go on a 77.

Too high unless there is something out of the ordinary and truly remarkable about this particular '77.

"Every available option" would be interesting if true. If the mileage is correct, as soon as you drive the car you're hurting the potential value.

RJR: if you've already offered $15K, why ask what it's worth?

It's worth what you're willing to pay. :cheers:

Was just wanting to know what you guys think, The dealer wants $35000 for it. I laughed at them and offered them $15000 and told them they would be lucky to get that.

I tend to agree with you. $35K is dreaming.

That dealer will be sitting on that 77 for a long time if he thinks it's worth 35K. There are a lot nicer collectable C3's out there for that kind of money

I'm far from an expert but if I CAN'T TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A CAR W/ 6000 OR 106000 ON IT IN 15 MINUTES OR LESS THEN I DESERVE WHATEVER HAPPENS TO ME. CALL ME STUPID BUT I'LL BET MY BOTTOM DOLLAR THAT 75% OF THE MEMBERS ON THIS FORUM CAN TELL THE DIFFERENCE TOO!:withstupid:

I'LL bet your more interesting C3 will not drive as quiet, smooth or handle as well as a good '77 will. I'm not an expert but I drove about 2 dozen vettes from '69-82 and I bought a '77 because I planned on driving it about 6-10000 miles a year. SO far I have not regretted the decision though I "only "put 5500 miles on her from July-November. I don't understand all the bashing of the rubber bumper cars, I have been in earlier cars that after 20 min. I just wanted to get out, but my wife has driven in my '77 for 2 1/2 hrs. straight and never once asked to take a break. I know she would not have lasted 25 min. in the more interesting cars due to rough ride , squeaks, rattles, jolts etc.

Me neither. I may prefer the earlier models but respect others preference for the later years. :thumbs:

I had a 67 convertible before my 70. The 67 hands down is worth far more than my 70 ever will be but I didn't care for all the rattles, shakes, etc... Some could have been taken care of with a thorough restoration. Some aspects would probably have felt the same even with a restoration. Guess I fall in between? :cheers:

20,000-25,000 i would say would be top $ and that would be hard to get even if it was a low mi. L82, 4 sp. top fight survior car. i like the rubber bumpers also like the crome one to. to each their owne.

bucky-katt 12-04-2010 06:19 PM
