67 corvette garage find

[luzl78]

going to look at a 67 corvette on friday. older gentleman was owed money back in 1971 and the corvette was part of the payment. its been in his garage ever since.its either lyndale or eckert blue with white interior. its a 427-435 car conv and 4:11 what would be the lowest you guys would offer? he has all original paperwork from the original owner.

Jeff that depends on a lot. Has the car ever been hit had any panels replaced. Any paint work done to it. Is the interior or original. What has been changed on it. I know of a decent Marina blue car purchased last year for 110.

Don't forget original bolt on Wheels and red lines can add 20,000 plis to the value.

If it has all original parts in place & could clean up for Triple Crown..... I was offered the same car in green/black, but passed at $150k. Car sold to the next guy on the list.

So many of those cars lost their original engine, on a car like that it's a 50K hit if not more if the engine is gone. A very ratty blue/blue 435 roadster sold last year for top dollar of 125K. It needed everything (front clip and more) but had the original engine, trans, and rear. It also had a great tank sticker. I tried to buy it at 80K and folks thought I was nuts for offering that much. Someone finally paid his price and the car is under restoration now.
Don't forget that restorations on a car like that cost 100K plus. To "fluff" it can run 50K or more. Correct parts are very costly on '67 Corvettes.

Wonder what happened to the 67 427/435 Marina Blue one from up around Cooperstown area that the last I heard it was getting put onto a Blazer 4x4 frame. I looked at it lloonngg ago when it had been outside long enough to have the paint worn off down to the gel coat in a lot of places.
