The value of your car simply comes down to two basic things. 1. What is an acceptable amount you are willing to take for it. 2. What someone is willing to pay for it. Now there are other factors that could come into play and that really depends on the car itself. Does the car have a "Collectability factor", originality, rarity, quality of a restoration, mileage, what was put into the car financially, was it was celebrity owned, was it ever in a magazine, ever been certified by a car club, any awards from top car shows, etc. For most cars (even Corvettes) most of these factors won't apply to the value although many people do try. As a buyer I could care less if the car was owned by Dan Marino or Eminem or in a magazine. Don't get me wrong, I would think it's cool but don't think it adds to the value. The rest really depends on the car itself. What I mean by that is this, unless your 1976 Corvette has a very low VIN number or is some rare combination of equipment don't expect Mecum or Barrett Jackson prices. Since there are no rare 1976 Corvettes that I am aware of it all falls back to what you are willing to take as an acceptable value for your car. I have seen them go from between $3,000 in poor condition to $14,000 in restored condition. You may want to check Corvette Forums and online sales and you may get a better idea. Sorry to be long winded, I hope this helps.
