That's my assessment too.... And, complete restomods (still bringing good money) are a different category. One-off additions or partially modded cars, not so much.

I ask because I don't currently own a truck or trailer so if I bought it I would drive it home.
Why do you all feel the need to down on the car, and since he built it, MrVette too? I often feel like I somehow got transported back to the 6th grade when reading the comments here. |

Nothing else. In my opinion, no one should ask for an opinion unless they are prepared to hear the worst of the worst. Anything above that, is a plus. In this case, you have a rock solid point. The answers "should have been" numbers, not comments. |

If I was in the market for a C3, I would be looking for something pretty much stock, at least in appearance. That said, I believe this car would be a very tough sell and would probably take considerable time.
I have seen reasonably clean early 70's C3's in the high teens. I would say 10k on that one tops, and you would have to find the right buyer. If Mr.Vette likes it, that's really all that matters. |

Reminds me of discussions I have had about taking out a bathtub in a house and people say it will impact the resale value. I didn't buy the house for the NEXT owner. I bought it for ME. |

The problem with custom Corvettes is you cut your buying audience down to about 10% that will like what your vision of a custom is. In today's world if it's not a restomod that looks mostly stock it's not going to fetch much and certainly not as much as a stock one would.
This is the ass that started it all and is by far more sexy because of the round tail lights. |

What the car actually is will drive the value to a large degree. Once we have a baseline, then sure, folks will be dinging the price for mods they don't like, and want to reverse. This isn't the end of the world necessarily as something like that custom gauge cluster can be returned to basically stock for less than $1000 in parts, and my wife and I could knock out a project like that in a weekend so that shouldn't be a big hit. If someone hates the tail lights, it looks to me like we are talking body and paint work, and someone like me can't do that without professional help, so that would be a bigger hit. I've seen '72 verts with NOM go for $20K+. |

As far as restoring, never will happen, like I said above......the ONLY thing stock is the chrome bumpers, and in fact one of the rears picked up a stratch fairly recently, and the front is too wide on the end tips....sticks out about 1.5 inches per side at the end tips....it is a replacement bumper.....engine is an aluminum headed roller motor, L98 cam, .030 over bore...serp drive, 200 r4 auto, used to be a stick shift 4 speed......4 core alum radiator.....dual spal fans, high amp alt ~105 amps.....nothing stock about steering/brakes/suspension
even the gas tank is modified......so are the gas lines.....pix shows total custom gauges.....steering wheel/column are from late shark, power added to windoze, it has DPFI on it from the start with ME, some 30 years ago.....but it failed and so I went AFB carb/intake when rebuilding engine 2-3 years ago...... A/C does not work, hardly needed, so did no bother last time around, like 2 years ago....hydro boost brakes, aluminum master cyl.....wipers are electronic controlled variable epeed, door opens/closed via motor not vacuum......vents removed from rear just aft of the top hatch door.... speakers are unused, in rear deck/wall just under the top hatch .....the green paint is NOT STOCK.....side scoops are modified, front grill is hand made by a welder buddy and I, lights are totally NOT STOCK.....LED lights for headlights.....etc.... |
