I am closing in on the purchase of a 67 BB Coupe from a friend and wondered if a few of the board's more knowledgable 67 guys would check out some pics of the car for me and let me know what they think. Please email me if you can help and I'll pass along the web site address (sorry, can't post it here because I have limited space). Thanks, Mark.

Re: Purchasing help - 67 BB Coupe
If you are looking for a rough estimate, based on the cars options, you could try http://corvettemagazine.com/cgi-bin/Calculator.asp I have found it only works with MS IE, not Netscape. Could be just me.

Sorry to change the subject But.....
I looked at the price guide that corvette mike is providing so graciously to us.
WOW was I shocked at the prices it returned - it must have compared to what corvette mike would try and sell one for!
I don't see how anyone could use this price guide and expect to receive an accurate estimate of the car value.

I did my car on it also. Seams my car is up in value 25% from yesterday. I'll give Mike a call and offer to sell my car to him. We ALL ought to do that! Bob

Re: Buckle up, these mid-year prices hot again.
I've made a couple of "Posts" lately about what the mid-year prices are doing, *going up*. I've been searching around for months on the web trying to get good info and pictures as well as NCRS books for my 67 B/B coupe restoration. As well as reading the BOARD.(again many thanks for the info) I was just pleased with the price on that" search for results" page. I've been reading the web dealerships who sell mostly mid-years corvettes.Most have pictures of the cars which I was interested in. When I call these dealers they don't hesitate to blow your mind with a wild price. They seldom show the prices. Proteam does and a few other outfits but not many show theirs prices so you call like I did. Stay buckled in.I hope it stays hot. grr#33570Comment

Re: Buckle up, these mid-year prices hot again.
I just checked out the ad for the 12 mile '67 L-88 at hemmings.com. There are 175 '67s and half of them must be 427/435s, which seems odd as they only represent a bit over 16 percent of production, and the asking prices are "interesting" to say the least. Now appears to be a good time to sell a vintage Corvette, but if you are patient, just wait for the next recession. It's not a matter of "if"; simply a matter of "when".

Re: Sorry to change the subject But.....
I found the site interesting. A "good driver" roadster '67 427/390, w/air -- $52,000. This is the value of an "excellent" car in the CPI guide, not just a good driver. W/o air -- $45000 -- or $7000 for a/c. Wow. And no premium listed for a hard-top for the roadster. I guess that an auxillary hard-top is not desireable in CA.
Also, No premium for an LT-1 in 1970. But the CPI guide lists about $8k extra for a nice car. Corvette Mike seems to need a bit of refinement in his valuation guide.Comment

Re: Iron Duke, Buckle up and riding the wave
I have owned my share of the newer covettes, last was a brand new 1990 ZR1, nothing but restoration cars after that. I had just escaped buying a new 2000 late last year. It was hard to walk away but I starting thinking, do I want a car or a corvette. So that's how I ended up getting this 67 coupe and presently restoring. People are bored to tears with these new corvettes. Wash and wax, plus no nastalgic flashbacks to the good old days. Driving a 67 435hp coupe is more fun and exciting to me than that new 2000. I felt numb in the newer car. People miss the excitement of actually "driving" and for most even knowing about their car. It's a peice of Americana, especially if really in nice condition and an owner who knows about the car. We have many members in the NCRS who pride themselves well.grr#33570Comment

Re: Buckle up, these mid-year prices hot again.
Got my monthly catalog in the mail last night from that dealer known as P-- T---. '67 prices (asking) blow me away. 80K for the cheapest to 120K for 435 cars? Insanity. How come '66 425 cars are half that? Guess they are not in vogue.Comment

Re: Iron Duke, Buckle up and riding the wave
Sold my 99 C5 for a 396 coupe. Best thing I ever did. A 99 after all is just another late model used Chevy. And the prices of both are going in opposite directions.1969 Riverside Gold Coupe, L71, 14,000 miles. Top Flight, 2 Star Bowtie.Comment

Yeah, yeah, update us in a year or two...
...having a BB non-air coupe as your only Corvette, the two happiest days will be the day you got it and the day you get rid of it.
