That is my favorite of all Corvettes. The value really depends on what level of restoration you bring it to: what is the condition of the body, frame, bird cage. It has nice options like head rests, side exhaust and most importantly the L71. Your documentation is obviously a big deal.
That car fully restored to a high level could bring well over $200K.
Right now, it looks like a major project.
Are you selling it as is, in pieces or are you planning to restore it?
Kind of tough to value without knowing these things.
Is Sunfire Yellow the correct color?
In any condition, you won't have a problem selling that car.
Wow! IMHO if the documentation supports the options and the engine is really the one the car was Born with...I'd say at a minimum you car is worth north of 60K as is or you could trade for a nice "original" motored mid year coupe. I'd hold out for what your really want and take nothing less.
Remember, you asked,

When it comes to 435 convertibles with REAL documentation, born-with engine block and tags, you are deaing with an exceedingly rare car. Finding a restorable project with these credentials is the proverbial needle in a haystack. If this car checks all those boxes, there will be strong competiton among buyers at the $80-100K range.
There are a lot of "experts" but only a few who have real experience hunting and successfully buying/restoring high-caliber 435 cars.
You better have a very compelling reason to restore a car today. Revfan may be correct but the restoration experience is one you may not want to have.
First you have to find a shop that has experience. A lot of experience. One that has played in the big leagues.
Next you're probably going to have to get a home equity loan to pay the bills for the next couple of years. This shop is going to send you some seriously large bills every month the car is in their shop.
Then a couple of years from now you put the car on the block at the RM auction and hope. Right now it looks as if you could recover your costs. In 2 or 3 years who knows?
If you sell it right now you can just put the money in the bank and move on.
Everyone takes a restoration project too lightly - especially those folks who haven't done one.

Why do you have to pay a shop to restore a car???? While most at home restos get worked farmed out. There is no reason to pay someone more then the car is worth to have it restored
I'm sure he has received so many messages that he can't even filter through them. I sent him one as well because I would really like to take a chance on this car.
Offering to trade a 435hp convertible for an unspecified year NOM C2 driver is like hanging half a dead cow in front of a pride of hungry lions.
