rivet bumps in hood

The engine size in a vette doesn't always mean it will get a higher price.  I beg to differ.  Also look for unique options that the vette your considering to buy might have.  See if the car has it's "build sheet."  Air conditioning (C60) will add $1000 to resale value.

On the '72 your looking at, look for these options also: AM-FM Radio, stereo (U79) - 7,189 qty, 4-speed manual trans (M21) - 1,638 qty., Air Injection Reactor (K19) - 3,912 qty., Special Purpose LT1 Engine Package (ZR1) - 20 qty, Custom Shoulder Belts (A85-standard with coupe) - 749 qty. and etc.

Best of luck to ya!
