Default ? about value on a 1965 L78 'vette convert

I am in need of some info regarding "real" world pricing on 1965 Corvette convertibles with the L78 (396/425) engine. The car in question is a matching numbered (all numbers), documented (supposed to have window sticker, manuals, etc), both tops, side pipes, teak wheel, leather, knock offs, and power windows. All options are original to the car. It is a 1 repaint car with no previous restoration work done. I would say it is a strong #2 car overall. Any help appreciated.

Greg:

Just got back from 4 days at Bloomington Gold event. A beautiful original L78 coupe with paperwork went for 85K. Convertible big blocks were going 35K to 50K over similar equiped coupes in the midyears.

This car is up for aution here in Columbus next month.
No reserve.
McDorman has around 350 cars, and his storage conditions would not win any prizes.
This car could go over average if there are enough folks that think that it won't require a lot of work to bring it up to points judging standards.
Or, it could be a great deal for an easy resto project (I should bite my tongue for saying this), if the brokers don't get overheated bidding on it.

This car sounds very nice! With all of those power options, leather interior, pipes, and hardtop, I would think anywhere $75,000+ for this car would be correct. L-78 Vettes are on the rise big time! Documentation sounds outstanding! I would like to see picture of this car.
