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:

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!😄

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.
