I have a 1975 Stingray Conv. that I have to sell. I have no idea what she is worth. I bought her a little over ten years ago. The Stingray is solid but needs tender love. Rebuilt with 28k miles, new interior, brakes. Can someone guide me in a direction. I paid $10K. I will be moving to Key Largo and there isn't a garage.... I would love to see her go to a good home.

A `75 that needs "tender love", may or may not be matching numbers (more then likely not with *rebuilt* motor) can be picked up all day long for right about +/- $10k in my area all day long.
Here is an example similar to how he described his car on ebay

with original motor & fresh paint for $7200with no bids and the auction ending in a day. Oh and here is onealmost exactly as he described

for $10k. I doubt that the original poster is even going to revisit this forum to see or contact me on my offer, but I made it in sincerity. First thing tomorrow I'm going to check out this

commuting back to my job in Annapolis. If I can pick-up a `71with a freshly built `69 427 L-88 for around the same price as a `75 Idoubt highly I'm the one off base here. For weekend beaters I couldcare less about NMN if I'm getting the right smiles per miles ratio. If you are investing in Corvettes, perhaps you should know their values a little better. NADA/BB are notoriously off base on their prices.
I'm just looking for a weekend beater/thrill ride until I finish my full resto on a `72 BB ragtop. At the rate I'm going, it will be right about at it's 50th birthday though.

While that is an approach, easier to look at ebay & Classic Auto Trader prices for your zip code. Most really aren't worth much more the 10k in about a 250 mile radius from me.

But you also inferred that I was trying to screw the guy over for a 3x times profit. Ain't nobody flipping a 10k `75 for 30k unless they run into a real idiot.
The vet has auto transmission, air condition, radio, no hardtop, luggage rack on trunk, matched serial numbers. I do not want to triple my profit. I am looking to break even on $10K a little more. This is a diamond in the rough! hahaha
Well I just grabbed the August 2006 issue of Corvette Enthusiast Magazine.. which had their annual pricing guide... Just a sampling of what these cars sold for at various sales, auctions etc ...
But a 1975 Corvette Convertible is priced at L48 in fair shape = 10,000 no surprise in good shape = 18,000 in excellent shape = 31,425
L82 11,450 in fair shape 20,125 in good shape 35,875 in excellent shape... (gulp)
Now just how fair, good or excellent is defined is left unanswered...
Every model increased its value during the last year (2005) also
I just do not think the Original poster should have much trouble unloading this car for what he paid for it 10 years ago....

Apparently he's not interested. A lot of people who post cars for sale here really aren't interested in selling them. Perhaps just getting pricing information.
Just looked at an all matching numbers `72 here locally that a guy wants $16,000 for. Massive amounts of Silicone around the windshield and an old re-paint have me semi-concered, but it has one of the best unmolested & original interiors I've seen in a long time. Claims the color is War Bonnet Yellow, but looks more like a Gold to me. Car was originally white. Paint isn't all that bad, just a tad off in the coloring (fading?).
