The Auto Trader and Auto Trader "On Line" are the best places. They have a generic magazine along with Antique and Corvette issue.
Unfortunetley, a very nice car like yours, for a very nice price, seems to get lost in the shuffle. While your car is obvioulsy a very nice car, once you get over $15K a guy can get into an entry level CB C3.
And it seems as most Vette buyers would rather buy a car needing a little TLC that they can do themselves. We've all been there. You see a semi rough car at what looks like a bargain, and we buy it thinking,.."For a little cash I can really make that car nice and have a gerat deal". Of course, the trouth of the matter is,...just as with your car,...we end up spending thousands of dollars on the car that we will never get back.
Anyway, to answer you question,...I would list it in the auto trader.
Good luck

In addition to Autotrader, some states or regions have another leading car ad publication. For example, in Mid-Michigan there's a publication called Wheeler Deeler that lots of people pick up and thumb through.
Some areas have a high penetration with www.craigslist.com . University towns seem strongest. It's free, so it's worth a try.
The classifieds here are great with some serious and knowledgeable buyers. However, some of us can be rather prickly. I bought my car last fall from a fellow forum member who had it listed here. I knew I wanted an 81 or 82 and set a ceiling of $15K for a completed car ready to run this spring. I knew it would be a balancing game - pay more for the car and not have to do much to it, or pay less for the car and spend more on repairs / restoration. I chose the former and am very satisfied.
