1971 Corvette 454/ AT Value
Guys,
I'm new to this forum and asking for a estimate on a value of a 1971 Corvette my Dad has had for ~40 years. I'm not a Corvette guy, but I know quite a bit about Camaro's and Chevelle's.
Here's what I know.
1) Has the original 454/365HP engine. I would be willing to bet the intake, carb and distributor have never been removed.
2) Non A/C car.
3) TH400, which I'm sure is original.
4) Nice black interior. I've noticed that the seats are all leather. I've seen some pictures of a type of material in the center sections of some other Corvettes this year.
5) T-top car.
6) Has the original luggage rack in the back.
7) Did run a few years back and is in a garage.
8) Removable rear window.
9) I think has about 100K on the odometer.
10) Has 8" Corvette rallies with beauty rings and centers.
11) Original breather top, etc.... I know it's missing the distributor chrome cover... I think.
What I know isn't correct.
1) Paint - Is currently white, but the original color I think is a dark green.
2) Has chrome side pipes.
My Dad has passed away and left it to my sister and she wants to sell it. I will be getting it into her garage in the next few weeks and getting it to run.
What questions do you all have and what do you think it is worth??
Thanks,
Rick

Welcome to the Forum. Pictures would be helpful. 
Forum rules state, "Need to include a price" to sell here. Maybe you should post your question in the C-3 general area as a "whats it worth thread. Then when you have an accurate price post it in the for sale section.

Post it in the General section, maybe pull the VIN for someone to look up, and if you can get a build sheet for it that would really help along with a lot of pics. Especially any rust areas around what we call the bird cage.
