Vette(s): Used to own a 1979 Corvette now owned by JB79

In our Corvette Stats section (under the "Research" menu) we list the base price for each Corvette and each option (when available) along with its inflation adjusted price. 

The prices were just updated for 2025!

So, are you curious what your C3 Corvette would cost if was available new today? This will give you and idea. 

Here's an example:

Vette(s): 1978 L48 Auto. Red with Oyster Leather interior. Owned since 1990.

That's a fun little exercise!   

Based on the numbers shown, our '78 would come in at just under $60k now, which all things considered, is pretty reasonable.

But I can't help thinking that Chevy would have put up the price a bit by now!😄

Vette(s): 1982 Collector Edition, Silver-Beige metallic, 45000 miles and counting. 2024 Riptide Blue Z06 Convertible

75K+ for our 82CE, interesting.  Unfortunately they have not maintained any value on the open market as they are only averaging about 21K with 30-40K miles.
