In my opinion, published price guides are absolutely worthless. You can sit with a calculator at any point and add a given percentage, once you figure out what it is, and pretty well fill in their whole list from one car. They're just not realistic at all, but really just mathmatical formulas expanding very limited data. Basically, I'd like to buy all the high perf cars on the list for their prices and have about a thousand base engine cars to sell for what they say they're worth.
I'd research some actual for sale ads on the internet, realizing that they're likely a little higher than what the cars realistically sell for, and form some averages.

Anyone thinking about buying a Corvette (or any collector type vehilce) should memorize this statement that Solidlifters posted.
Between regional variations, seasonal variations, option desirability, condition, and just about everything else under the sun that you can think of, it is almost impossible to put together a reasonablly accurate price guide... And the moment you publish it, it becomes obsolete.
Look around... Internet, shows, newspapers, whatever... Get a feel for what the car you're looking for is actually selling for... That's the best and most accurate way to get a feel for what a car is worth.
Solidlifters' advice is excellent and in my opinion, the only way to estimate the value of a car with any accuracy.
Good luck in your Corvette search!
