Strange question on a 914 forum I know but you guy's seem to have your hands in more than just teeners.
Here's the deal. There is a guy at my wifes office that has a '72 vette he wants to get rid of. I haven't seen the car but from what I've been told it's very clean and in really good shape. I don't know if it has the mysterious "Matching Numbers", or anything else about it. I did a little research, and see them selling anywhere from 10k - 30k. He want's 6k for it. Any thoughts? |

Alan, I haven't been into Corvettes since the '80s when I was Competition Director for Corvettes of Minnesota but if I recall correctly, the '72 is not really a collectable car. It isn't followed by the organizations that say what it should be and such. All of that may have changed though. Search National Council of Corvette Clubs and see if they have any valuation information. |

Search National Council of Corvette Clubs and see if they have any valuation information. Thats definitely changed. Since 67 and earlier cars are 6 digits (thanks to Craig Jackson), the C3 cars have become the "affordable" old Vette. Especially Chrome Bumper C3's. 427/4 speed cars are in the $50k range now. Add a drop top, add $$$. I would jump on it at $6k in any drivable condition. Believe it or not though, Vettes do have rust issues too! Obiviously not in the glass, but in the Sub-Structures. So, do some homework. We bought this 73 this year because my wife wanted some kind convertible. I wanted a car that wouldn't nosedive in depreciation. We agreed on this. Its a one year car, front poly bumper, rear chrome bumper. Last year for Chrome bumpers. This car is matching numbers. It allegedly a 47k original mile car, but I can't confirm that. |
