350 engine, auto trans 75k miles. "Good" condition. Late 70's early 80's are not the most desirable, but I might be able to pick it up cheap. Needs a little work and the guy is sick of it. Thinking of turning it for a profit.

L-48 or L-82? Unless you are stealing it I would think it would be hard to make much money on one.

02-12-2010 10:37 AMI would say 5 to 7K....If it's in good shape. Those "rubber bumper" vettes are not bringing any $$$ and probably never will.

'74 - '77 are the least desirable, IMO. '78 - '82 are not much better. The '80 L-82 would be the most desirable out of that timeframe, IMO. None of them are worth much. In '86 I was dealing on a '79 L-82 with about 50K miles on it for right around $9K. They defintely have not gone up in value from then!

5500 - 6500 If the miles are documented. 4000 if not. But that's around here in the middle.
Forget Lightspeed go straight to LUDICROUS SPEED!!

I would think 5k for one in "good cond" would be all the money, 7 or 8 for verry good. Older vetts have brake caliper leaks, radiator leaks, and rear wheel bearings are a bich to replace. Color is important too.

02-12-2010 06:47 PM4 to 7K as the "after" price maybe.........no way will you buy it for 4-7K and make a profit.
2k would be the end of the world if it runs, drives and has all its parts (still installed, not car with boxes of parts).

02-13-2010 05:17 AMNo chance.....If I remember correctly they made a ton of those pace cars (like thousands) and it was essentially a sticker kit on top of a two tone paint scheme. I believe the 94 was the rarest pace car production run and they only came in purple/white and as convertibles. In 86 EVERY convertible was considered a pace car edition and they made thousands of those too!
No car ever became collectible due to a sticker kit.........it usually took low production numbers and higher performance to make it "collectible."
