Based on NADA average values, has msrp adjusted for 2.5% inflation

1967 is really that low?
They are absolutely all not 427 cars but even nice 327 cars pull around 40-50k. Even condition 3 cars. Couple that with the 427 stuff and it would probably be well over 60.

Is this the base model though? I'm assuming the 63 high point is not the base model. If you aren't going to do the basemodel each year you might aswell do the newest Zo6 etc

The '63 high point is because it was the only year the split-window coupe was offered.

It is certainly the base model, coupe. There was no regular unsplit window stingray coupe that year, or at least listed on NADA. The convertible would have been different, and the split window non-stingray values are all out of whack.

but even the smallest engines went that pricey?

Corvettes didn't really have non-base models until the C4 ZR1. There were plenty of different engine choices but they were individual options rather than separate models.
All 1963 Corvette coupes had the split rear window. GM got rid of it for '64 because it was hard to see out the back. But since then, the '63 has become very collectible, regardless of what motor it has.
(Also if you're looking at the blue line, that's the value now, not what they cost when new. So it's showing how the '63 is now more highly sought after and thus more expensive.)

I understand the graph, but is even the lowliest 250hp 327 selling for 100k or is it a more powerful variant with options such as AC?

So 1995's aren't worth squat right now...

for example, this 63 split window with a 300hp engine freshly restored sold for only 66k$

The original post says average values, so without more detail on where this graph actually came from, I'd assume that means average values for all cars of that year. There are probably some less desirable option combos going for less than $100k and others going for more.

exactly my point. Therefore in theory for all other years he should then be averaging in the prices for say the zo6 or the ZR1 (ZR-1), 427 blah blah

So C4s and C5s can still be had for a value. Perhaps I'll have to scale back my dream of owning a late C2 or early C3.

That is an unusual anomaly. The last of the C2s were the last of the great muscle Vettes. Things went downhill in the 70s.

I think they could still hang until '70 at least. '74 if you play around a little under the hood.

What's up with the 1995 drop? It looks as though a 1994 models is worth as much as 2002 (...ok).

68 and 69 still had the L88 option, right? So GM was still playing ball for a little while before regulations neutered it.

L88, L89, and 1969 had the 3 ZL1's. The L88 was not exactly the same. 67-early 69 had one camshaft, late 69 L88 shared its cam with the ZL1.

Regulations began in earnest for '73, and then things took a steep nose-dive in '74. The pits were the late '70s.

See that little dip in value for the 1968 cars? That's where I'm aiming.

The early to mid 90's cars are my favorite for looks. They are way up on performance over anything 1974 and on. Since then the HP race has pretty much made them look bad, but I see no value in 1974 - 1989.

That huge drop after 1974 might be because of there being no Big Block engine options anymore, which would dramatically affect value.

Cat converter years too. The worst of the worst was probably 75-82.

You'd think the least valuable would be the smog-addled late C3 models, but surprisingly it's the 1995 model. How come?

This confuses me, too. And I would think that the 96 would be the most desirable of the C4s, with the LT4 in the manual cars and all...
