Default Anyone out there sell their C3 lately?

Hello,
I have a 1972 coupe, 4-speed, rebuilt non-matching 350. I added power steering, composite rear spring an other upgrades. Really nice shape, repainted Pewter Silver a 10 or so years ago. Contemplating putting it up for sale this spiring/summer. Anyone sold one recently? Besides posting here on the forum, EBay, Auto Trader Classic? I'm not a member of any corvette clubs but there is a pretty big corvette show near me in Vermilion, Ohio yearly. Asking prices? I've looked up some ranges of prices of sold ones and they seem all over the place. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks, Paul in Ohio

Eric, thanks for the interest but I am in the early stages of doing anything with it. Just trying to get a feel for how selling here or elsewhere have worked out for others. It's still in storage and I need to update pictures but keep my contact info handy and get back to me later spring. Yes, all suspension redone. front and back. I would list all the work done on it down the road. Thanks, Paul

I follow C3 sales on BaT, Bring a Trailer, and most usually bring good $$$...

Fresh front and rear suspension is a huge plus and value if drives like a dream . Dig up all stuff to help refresh your memory for the sales ad and get lots of pictures for potential out of state inquiries

Bring a Trailer is likely to be your best bet.

If they will take your car. They aren't like ebay--they don't take everything offered.

Thanks for all the replies. I never heard of Bring a Trailer before. Pretty nice that they don't take a percentage of the final selling price from the seller, just the buyers. Paul

I sold via Bring A Trailer and it was a good experience.

Yep, although that ultimately should mean the buyer is not willing to pay as much. It doesn't seem to be the case in practice.
