Default Question on Value of Stingray

I am posting this for a friend who would like to know the approximate value. I know C5s and up with regards to value, but older Vettes are not my forte. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance for any assistance. If there is anything else that could be helpful, let me know and I will add that info.

Specs, as far as I know are as follows:

- 1975
- 4-speed manual.
- 39k miles.
- Condition - I have not personally seen it, but it looks to be in pretty good shape for the year and whatnot.
- Not currently running, but I doubt it would take anything crazy. Ran well 10 years ago.

If the frame or birdcage are bad it’s worth about 2k as a parts car. Even if it’s good if it hasn’t ran in 10 years it would be hard to justify spending more than 10 on it. Post #107 of this thread has a lot of good information on what to look for when buying a C3. I’d factor in the cost of new tires too.

It would need to be running to get anywhere near those numbers...

Nice looking 75. Loaded with nice options too and the 4 speed makes it definitely more desireable. Like the others have said getting it running would help greatly. Some better pictures too.
