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 :thumbsup

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

http://www.motors.ebay.com

I sold 3 older cars in various stages of restoration through ebay motors. No poblems. J

You could look on http://www.hemmings.com/ and find similar cars for sale to get an idea or try http://www.nadaguides.com/SectionHom...=22&p=0&f=5003

I would compare prices on auto trader

exactly...

Love the '61

WOW that red one in slick !!! After seeing the condition these are in I may just buy one and have it restored ..

Indeed,

I can only recommend Hemmings motor news.

Anyone else know any good sites ??? Both cars need work but I need a number to go off

Craigslist is a good start also buy and sell,auto trader

Yea thats where I was going to list them .. I'm addicted to that place lol

www.seriouswheels.com check out the for sale stuff in the sidebar

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.

Kelly's Blue Book online service goes back 20 years on used car valuations...

Hey Bad Dog!
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.)

Got some pic's of the 64 ? :)

Great deals and many scams.post pix of the cars and post daily

HEY! I finally figured out how to put in a picture! I deserve a pat on the back (or a kick in the balls...) Anyway, good luck with the car!

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

this is the guide used by Dealers across the country


www.NADA.com

this was posted earlier in the thread

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. :2 cents:

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.

I'm going to take some pics tonight. I guess one needs a motor lol .. and all the body is in good shape for both.

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

That wasn't the point, the point was YOU were incorrect w/ the 7 years statement re: the Blue Book.

Admit you were wrong instead of trying to spin this by somehow implying my information is not relevant.

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

Try Old car online. They even have a projects section...

Your friend isn't going to get anywhere what they're worth at the moment as EVERYONE is selling their "projects" at a loss due to current economy. How do I know? I'm buying the shit out of them. Last month alone:

49' Ford - 351 Windsor, C7, 9" rear, disc brakes, 12 volt conversion, etc - $600
52' Ford - Running Flathead - $800
59' Apache - Non-running, decent body - $150

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

It is absolutely relevant to YOUR 7 yrs response, which is the only thing I addressed.

PS. The "dubs" on that 64' look like shit.

auto trader is a good option!
