Re: 68 vette/going rate
I have a 68 also.
I would say if the car is very very nice it should go for 25+.
There are however many who are not receptive to 68s. I was one until I found a nice one and drove it.
If you want I would be happy to discuss details.
email me at jgrice@provide.net and we can establish a dialogue.- Top

Re: 68 vette/going rate
Marc,
Your '68 sounds like a twin to my unrestored '69 Lemans Blue 427/400, 4-spd, A/C, 2 top, black interior, power everything convertible. They are both far rarer than any 435hp car! Even though I don't plan to sell mine in the foreseeable future, I try to keep track of what mine is worth.
IMO, the price range for this combo in a '69 can range from the low $20,000's for a solid unrestored driver to $35,000 or $40,000 for a completely restored, NCRS Top Flight/Bloomingtom Gold car. Of course there are always exceptions above and below this range.
I would expect that the prices for a '68 might be similar to a '69, but perhaps a little lower if the car might eventually need a restoration (so many unique parts). A restored Top Flight '68 probably wouldn't be priced any lower than a '69.
I hope this gives you an idea what your car might be worth. Of course, all of the Corvette Magazines publish a price guide at least once a year and you can check web sites such as "www.traderonline.com/auto" and "www.proteam-corvette.com" (and many more) for current prices on cars that might be similar to yours.
Good Luck,
Joe- Top

Re: 68 vette/going rate
The going rate for your car is $9,000 which I will gladly pay you. Just kidding, the problem you are facing is the opposite of mine. I have been looking for a 68 -72 convetible for a while now. Price guide says $21 for very good condition and $27 for restored, $30 for concours. (including $7k for the 400hp 427) That's a pretty wide spread, especially for someone like me who is not qualified to judge those quailty differences. You can also check a lot of ads but you don't know the actual transaction prices. The cars are all over the country and I won't buy a car without looking at it. Good luck!
As a postscript, I would like to see a place on this website for car ads so I don't have to wait for the magazine to see the ads !- Top
