I would buy the 86 for one reason - to preserve it. It has low miles, it must be in good condition.
If you want one to drive, get a newer one with the 6spd. So much more reliable for daily driving... much newer and with a ton of overall improvements...
Andy is right. If you're looking for something that one day might be a collectible, and you're willing to let it sit and/or put a minimal amount of additional mileage on it, then that seems like a reasonable starting price for negotiation.
However, if you're looking for something to use and really enjoy, $10,500 (or thereabouts) could get you a lot more Corvette. And don't be afraid to take you're time finding one as there are a lot of deals out there...
