Hello- new member.  just inherited my mom’s 1964 289 v8 convertible. Looks to be all original, good shape, nice top and upholstery, starts, drives, stops, all the good stuff.  I am going to sell it but have no idea how much its worth.  What should I know to sell it and what resources are available to help set a price?  Thanks, Dave

An old cliche, but still true.  The car is worth whatever someone is willing to pay for it.  Too many factors to give you an accurate price range.  Color makes a difference.  Location makes a difference.  Time of year makes a difference (not too many people in Maine looking for convertibles in Winter, for example).  You say nice, but you are selling.  A seller’s “nice” can be a buyer’s “just ok”.

That being said, probably more than $5,000, but less than $30,000.

I have a 1963 light blue Falcon sprint convertible with 3 on the tree with 75000 miles.  I believe this is a special-order car.  What could be the value?

Probably not as much as you think.  Light blue and 3 on tree really hurt the value.  Other than that, not enough information to give you an intelligent answer.

This is a screen shot was taken from the FAQ portion under the “Our Club” tab at the top of the page and is meant to address all the “What is my car worth?” posts.

I need to get a 3 yearly assesment by a recognised appraiser for my car insurance.

If you really want to know the value of your car have it professionally appraised and make sure you get a apprehensive appraisal report.

At least in the US, “professional” appraisals are about as valuable as throwing darts at a dart board.  One seller claimed that his Falcon was professionally appraised at over US$200,000.  There is not anyone on the planet that will pay US$200,000 for a Falcon unless is has US$150,000-US$160,000 in gold bars in the trunk.
