For the full price of $15,000 it should have a perfect body, exceptional motor and manual transmission (no auto's), good black interior, and the driveline frame remaining components should be in great shape. Thanks!

Good luck with your search. For that type of car you need to budget $25-30k not $15k for a early c3. You can find later c3's at your budget but even nice examples of those cars are bringing $20k or above right now

The term for that is restomod, and you're probably about $20 short of the price of one in exceptional, perfect, and great shape. Sorry to disappoint. Good luck though. If you find 2 of them let me know and I'll but the one you don't.

Nobody can claim that you don’t know what you want...with the wrong budget likely though

I have a 73 convertible which is a lot nicer than than a lot of the chrome bumpered ones advertised for mid 20's.......I would ask 14-14,500 for my car and I guarantee I would not get one phone call....Guys are asking way too much...For what reason I have no idea....

I've given up trying to make sense of early C3 prices. A nothing-special '72 roadster with the base SB and an automatic sold at Mecum Glendale recently for $46,200 (including the buyer's fee). It was red, however...

zrc3john

A fool and his money are soon parted.....Why, because it had a 5 foot by 3 inch piece of chrome on the front.....??? Seller laughed all the way to the bank.....

So what you guys are saying is if I’m not totally married to keeping my 71 forever I should put it up for auction to get my money back out of it?

zrc3john

For $46,200 how could you go wrong ...

tknospdr

For that kind of money, I could pay off what I owe on mine and have a super healthy down payment on a C8.

I have my 73 with great paint, interior has air, tilt, PS, PB amfm vett radio NEW radiator,u joints,motor mount, and more parts I care to list to make it a dependable drive advertized in the auto trader for the last 2 months for 14495 and got 1 call.

I sold my '69 in Glendale last year for strong money as well. I think its a good venue. I told a buddy to send his Camaro there and he did well this year.

What we are not talking about are the similar type cars that undersold at auction. Don't fool yourself into thinking anything is guaranteed.

Just left the Daytona show, huge disparity between prices for anything 72 and older vs 73 and newer.
There was a 68 or 69 in terrible shape, headlights on passenger seat, entire interior bare. Priced at 13,500. Then there was a really nice 75 in good daily driver condition that I think was $12,000.

Are you talking about that beautiful black on black convertible? If so that was one fantastic looking car.

zrc3john

I know the feeling..Have same year convertible with 400 HP....When mine was up I didn't get one call from the forum..Very strange especially when you see 73"s advertised at dealers for more than 20....

You mean a chrome bumper car that's actually priced fair ?
