I bought a 67 Convertible Tri-Power L-71: Orignal with tank sticker, needed total restoration for 12K.... about 8 years ago (and that was a steal)
Need more info to make a better judgment...documentation? orignal engine? but Id say (if its an L-71) easy thirties....Parts for vettes are really expensive and can add up quick!
there was a 67 coupe, 400hp tri-power, goodwood green, tan leather int. had the tank sticker, orignal engine long gone, in pooooor condition (hit hard in the front, sitting out for at least 15 years, bird cage rusted, door hinges rusted out frame rusted out, basket case! Sold for 10K (about a year ago) and it sold FAST!!!!!
Thing is here in Hawaii, off the top of my head, I can think of at least 12 midyears (63-67) just sitting/rotting... owners think there worth their weight in gold... so sad

Ask this in the C1/C2 forum @ www.corvetteforum.com
I'm a member out there since I own a '79, but I mainly lurk in the C3 forums. Very helpful folks. They would have a good idea what its worth...and probably a few that'd be willing to buy if you didn't.
Before I bought my 68 Camaro convertible in need of a full restoration (#'s match 327 powerglide), I asked the vette guys what it might be worth. Plenty of responses, and a few interested if I passed it up.
Good luck, those 1st and 2nd gen vettes are going up, up, up, UP in value....I want one.

i would think around 20k being a base 67vert list for 81k restored in cars of particular interest and its a year old book

I would say $20k to $25k I have bought and sold several mid sixties vettes. I wouldn't think you could get it bought for under $20k but if you can I would jump on it.

Hey wagonman, I got an idea... Buy the Vette, then we could trade: my 69 Orignal L-78 RS for it!
hehe.. was worth a try. good luck with it!

An older than me cousin had a 66-67 (can't remember the exact year now) coupe tri-power L-88 that was all original except for the 3x2 setup. He drove it to a vintage car auction here in the Twin Cities about 10 years ago and it never got to the gate. Sold it for 55k on the street !!
