There is no such thing. Sorry. NADA and Edmunnds etc sometimes can be close but there are too many variables. They do not address much information at all.

they chang every day. get what you think its worth, and pay what you are willing to pay. end of story. there have been thousands of post on what a car is worth and not two people can agree. and the seler always wants more then the book value, and the buyer wants to pay less. so do what you think is best. you worked hard for the money so only you knows how much its worth

Very well stated. Most sellers also see a car go through BJ for way more than it's worth and think they can get that as well.

For ideas, also look at Manheim Gold:
http://www.manheimgold.com/car_lo.html

Check E-Bay for sold cars, will also give you an idea what people are paying for them.

I don't have a lot of faith in those guides, NADA in particular (very high). But just to add to the confusion here is Corvette Magazine for January 2008.

When I sell my 1967 the market price will be what the buyer offers and I accept. Heck, offer me $80,000 and see what happens....

That guide I posted is just nonsense. A 1967 needing tender loving care is $37,000?

They must be getting their prices from PT's web site:
http://www.proteam-corvette.com/1967.html

Kind of interesting, PT and Mershon both show recent sale prices.
http://www.mershons.com/

As the nature of this thread is finding out what they are worth, can't hurt to see what dealers are getting for them.

ctjackster started a thread on vettefinders, looks like a good place to get auction price details:
