I purchased the car new and it has 13k original miles. It is flame orange with a tan interior like the sales brochure picture. I have the original Firestone 500 tires (In storage). I have the original Delco Freedom battery, factory build sheet, and all documentation as well as service manuals. It needs a good home with someones collection. It has been garaged and only rained on three times.

    Try a place like Classic Car

    Or contact you local area corvette owners group just do a yahoo search and Im sure you will see one nearby.

    Congrats on owning a classic ride!

    Sounds like a nice ride. I was not a fan of the 76 Vette, but the low miles, original condition, and documentation make it worth it.

    You could sell it on the Hemmings website.

    See the second link below to help you judge its value. I would guess someplace in the low $20,000 price range.

    By the way, a 76 Vette is worth nowhere near what a 67 Vette is worth.

    Contact one of the large auction houses. Barrett Jackson, Mecum, Kruse, Russo & Steele. These guys know how to maximize your sale. Trust the pros.

    I was watching Russo and Steele on TV yesterday and a rare ‘67 Vette went for $400,000.00. More than the Ferrari convertible that was sold right before it. The right buyer at the right auction will get you a lot of money for that car.

    There are classic car shows all the time in just about every city. go to one and talk to other classic car owners.

    Advertise it in Hemmings Motor News.

    I’m sure there are any number of websites and publications that cater to Corvette enthusiasts/collectors. I’d start there.

    advertize in collector mag
