Opinions on 71 Stingray

Re: Opinions on 71 Stingray

Mark,

"worth" is nearly impossible to decide by a description. Several photos would be useful, and a visit in person would be best.

We could "guess" anywhere from $10k to $28k depending on condition. That's a pretty wide spread, but a LOT more information is needed to narrow it down. See if you can use a photo hosting site to show us pictures.

Re: Opinions on 71 Stingray

Mark I have a 70 original owner and 68 origial owner and I don't know how much they would market for. What part of the county are you in? There will be a event in Knoxville, TN called the Corvette XPO in October, if you could attend you could check out the prices as they have an auction. Check out Rogers Corvettes in Florida to see some prices on his cars. Someone out there wants this car and has the money to spend.

Re: Opinions on 71 Stingray

It worked.

Now, some good photos of the chassis would be helpful. You'll need to get it up on a lift to get those.

It appears to be a nice car. There is a fair amount of surface rust showing in the engine compartment and on the frame. That is likely from where it sat for many years, as condensation from sitting can do this. Otherwise it appears clean.

I suspect it will fetch in the mid 20s without a problem, but again more pics would be useful. Also, numbers from the carb, alternator and engine pad would be nice.

Again, here is the link to see the car. I will get photos of the underside when time permits, but it is solid.

Yesterday I was given the original spare tire and tire cover. Owner also purchased another set of t-tops when he bought the car....they have never been put on (I am not sure if they are from the factory or not - I didn't ask). I was also informed that the car has never been in the rain, with that, the wipers are not working at this time.
If anyone is interested in seeing the car, we will be at Cruisin At The Bay in Sandusky Ohio on Sept. 9th. More than likely it will be parked in front of the DJ van after 6:00. Thanks.
