    1954 Corvette

    I am helping out a family who inherited this 1954 Corvette and is wanting to put a value on it. I am not an expert on 54's and could use your help. I have seen the car and it appears to be a solid number 2 car, looks like a late 1990's restoration that has aged well, driveline castings appear correct, car is in good running order, needs a few items fixed, radio , tach .....would you put this cars value at $70K to $80,000? Could you comment on the pictures and originality?

        Never been judged or shown, has 483 miles on the resto, car appears to be a 100000 mile car. It does have spare and jack but no shielding or side curtains.

            50K seems low. Appears to be a low 60's car from pics

              The car has many high $$ parts on it that are incorrect. The rear springs, the rear end, the front bumperetts to name a few at a quick glance. Good original shilding and side curtains are $6000 in missing parts by themselves. I do not want to price their vehicle but I will say I would not want to give more than about $45K for it.
