    Anyone know a good site to Price old cars ?

    One of my friends has a couple old Impalas, a 61 and 64 both in good shape, I guess he was going to restore them and does not have the time now..

    He asked me to look into selling them for him.. Anyone know a site where you can find out a good starting price ?? I'm going to take a few pics tonight.. Thanks in advance

    your only hope really is ebay's completed listings. Any "price guides" simply cannot work due to an insane amount of factors. Try to find something close on ebay and watch that auction.

      Ebay motors, you can even list a buy it now price and I am sure that there are a handful of impalas out there so you can get an idea on what they go for

                            Isn't Kelly's Blue Book pretty much the bible on car values? I'm not sure, but I thought that was the one. If you go to a car dealership, ask them to see the blue book.

                              Should have googled that last search.. Kelly's Blue Book's web site is

                              http://www.kbb.com/

                              That is the authority on what a car is worth.

                                If your car is 7 years old or less.

                                    I finally have an excuse to talk to you. I like the avatar, are you a biker too? I have a Dinamo 2008 Custom(It's a Mexican motorcycle), here is a pic,

                                    This pick is a couple of months old, now my bike has a custom paint job where it is covered with sperm. I'm new at this internet stuff, but nice to meet someone with a common interest (Well 2 common interests, bikes and pussy.)

                                            Should be perfect for cars 44+ years old, huh?

                                            That's a nice looking bike, I don't think I have seen any of those on my travels through Baja.

                                            Yes, the avatar is based on this bike



                                            I also have this '06


                                            (it's in there somewhere)

                                            Better pic



                                            and I have this '06




                                            I also have a '68 but I can't remember where I have a pic except here.

                                                Well, I just picked an arbitrary car with arbitrary options and it seems to presume that every 45 year old car is in the same shape.

                                                I am not going to agree that just because a car is a 61 Impala it is worth at least $7k. These prices only apply as dealer rates to sell. No way are they paying that much.

                                                I will stick with Auto Trader.

                                                  Although I have used the Auto Trader extensivly in the past and admit that it can be a great resource for finding a used car but it's probably not the best tool to determine the price of a vehicle especially a classic car that people tend to hold on to and are not many up for sale making comparison a bit difficult. I could probably pick up the current Auto Trader and be and if I were lucky there may be a 1961 Impalla for sale but then I may not see another listed in the next few months. Kelly Blue Book is not the most accurate for pricing older vehicles either. I would have to go with NADA (National Automobile Dealers Association) for classic car pricing.

                                                  NADA Used Car Guide is the recognized leader across the automotive industry providing market-reflective used vehicle valuations for: financial institutions, credit unions, government agencies, insurance companies, dealers, auctions, manufacturers and rental agencies.

                                                  NADA collects and analyzes over half a million auto-related transactions per month, including both wholesale and retail sales. The data is derived from automobile manufacturers, new and used car dealers and over 165 auctions nationwide. Taking into account economic trends, geographic location, weather and environmental concerns, along with many other factors to determine the most accurate price for a vehicle.

                                                  The NADA price guide lets you pick the make, model, and year of the vehicle then allows you to choose options such as air conditioning, engine size etc. that were available then gives you a average figure for that vehicle in various conditions such as Low Retail, Average Retail Value, and High Retail.

                                                    What needs to be done to them? New floor pans? New trunk pans? Engine rebuild? New carb? Other retinning?

                                                    Is the car stock? Where is it from? Has it been garaged or left out in the elements?

                                                    All those factor in when pricing a classic car.

                                                    You can also find an Impala forum and check the classic section.

                                                        If it's in California it will likely sell ASAP as these years/models are popular with the mexicans, gangbangers and lowrider enthusiasts as well as the regular classic car enthusiasts

                                                            Okay, the online version now goes to 20 years. Still not relevant.

                                                                49' Ford - 351 Windsor, C7, 9" rear, disc brakes, 12 volt conversion, etc - $600

                                                                59' Apache - Non-running, decent body - $150

                                                                Etc. My advise to your friend would be to sit on them. Just my worthless .02.
