A friend/customer just sold his 74 a couple of weeks ago. I believe he got $9k for it, or that is what he says. I think he got less than that since he likes to over exaggerate. He initially thought it was worth $15k. Pesonally I wouldn't have given him $5K for it. The thing was in rough shape; however, it looked good from a distance.
It looks like yours has had some recent work which always helps. Unfortunately, you seldom recover what is put into it. Prices will vary with differnent regions of the country. If you're a good sales person, then price it high and talk the buyer into why yours is worth more than something else they have looked at. Prices of older vettes vary so much that it hard to narrow the figure down to a precise range. Look at what others are selling for in your area. Stop by a car dealership that sells similiar cars and find out what they'll give for it. They will mark it up a few $$$$ and that might be an good indication what you can get for it.
Good Luck

Mike

From the Picture it looks like a nice solid vette, if it runs as nice as the pic. I would say $8,000 to $10,000. If it was a 68 to 72 you could have doubled that.

After doing all that work why not keep it and enjoy it.

This site has a pricing guide for old classics.

Price Guide

Prices should not be considered set in stone, but it is good reference neverless.

Good Luck!
