Corvette Promo models - worth?

vigoriton · 04-09-2002, 12:37 AM

I have inherited some corvette collectables and was wondering if anyone can give me an idea of how much they are worth or point me in the right direction. I am totally new to this. Thanks so much!

1991 ERTL Corvette Convertible Promo plastic model 6044EP in Cascade White with box, in excellent condition.

1989 ERTL Corvette Convertible Promo plastic model 6063EO in Black with box, in excellent condition.

1981 ERTL Corvette Coupe Promo plastic model in a metallic blue color. Excellent condition, no box.

1980 ERTL Corvette Coupe Promo plastic model in Yellow. Excellent condition, no box.

1975 ERTL Corvette Coupe Promo plastic model in Orange. Excellent condition, no box.

Red 1984 Corvette Coupe Jim Beam Decanter. In box with all papers. Never used, like new.

Monogram 1987 Corvette Roadster model kit number 2742. Unopened. Box shows the model in yellow with pace car decals on doors. I don't recall the Corvette being the pace car in 87. Wasn't it the 86 Pace Car?

Thanks again!

Not sure what they're worth, but I have a real 75 and a friend with an 89. I'd be interested in those two if you decide to sell.

In regards to your promos, as per the Paul Bender Promo and Kit Price guide, the retail prices are;
75 Coupe $200
80 Coupe $21
81 Coupe $38
89 Conv $45
91 Conv $22
I hope this helps.

Thanks Tom! Do you know where I can get a copy of the Paul Bender Promo and Kit Price guide? Is it something I can find in the big bookstores like Barnes&Noble, Books-a-million, Borders etc?

Let me give you some real world prices. These are from Jerry Goldsmith Promos Price List March-May 2002:

91 with box $20

89 with box $30, so no box would be about $10 less

81 with box $30, same with no box as above...

80 with box $20

75 with box $125, so no box goes for around 75-100.

The Jim Beam decanters go for over $100.

Thanks Doughan! Where can I get a copy of the Jerry Goldsmith Promos Price List?

Also about the 84 Corvette Decanter, I was wrong about my description. The Decanter is empty and has no smell so it must have been emptied a long time ago. The decanter looks like new and has all paperwork in the box. The box is opened (of course) is in good but not excellent condition. What do you think about its' value given that description?

Thanks again!

Goldsmith doesn't have a website but here's his email address:

j.goldsmith3@gte.net

I would say around $50. Here's one on eBay that's up to $41 so far:

Goldsmith prices are high. You knock about 20% off of his prices if you buy off of Ebay. Chuck

if anyone wants promo's, go to ebay - can't seem to give them away there.
