Vette(s): Picked it up and it running good now. Just need to do a few more things and she will be 100 percent.

Here is a nice old car that is a piece of history. A 1930 Oldsmobile F-30 that has been restored with everything original including the interior. It is almost in museum condition. It is also the last year they used wooden spoke wheels. My uncle is trying to sell it but has no idea of how much to ask. It does need a good clean up and it does run.

Vette(s): Coupe 74 - 454 Drive it like you stole it!
The Gold Book website puts it anywhere between 5k & 18k (convertible reaches 37k).  I couldn't find any past auctions on Barrett Jackson.
 
Nadaguides.com show the same numbers.
 
Very nice indeed.

$15,000 sounds about right to me. The biggest reason for not bringing much more is the fact it is an Olds. You'd have to find just the right collector for it. It do look very nice, tho!!Adams' Apple38847.1974305556

Vette(s): 1979, 350sb, as my kids affectionately call it "shit brown" Corvette purchased in 1996. 84,000+ miles. Not a show car, but I love her just the same.

Take pictures like you would for Ebay (of everything and anything), making sure they are in focus and high quality, and call Barret and Jackson and any other reputable auto appraiser that specializes in antiques and see if they'll give you a representative value.  Get at least 2 or 3 opinions (appraisals) and decide from there.

Nice car, by the way.  Hate to see it chopped up and modded into a hot rod, but that is what might happen depending on the buyer.

Good luck

I would have to take those pictures and that won't possibly get done until late July or early August when I go back to Ohio. It would be nice to get it out in the sun to take those pictures. If anyone is really interested in it, I can take your contact information and send it to my uncle and he can contact you. Just e-mail me at rcs65069@ktis.net and I will see that he gets your information. I know trades are out of the question since he just sold me his Vette. He also has a 71 Pontiac Lemans with excellent interior. It does have some rust on the bottom edge on the drivers side but can be fixed easily.
