I had a couple of very unusual but very nice low mile vehicles that I am in the process of writing appraisals for. I'm finding true comparables hard to come by, and the price guides don't seem right to me. So anyone wanting to put in their 2 cents worth can post or PM me. Thanks in advance.
1. 1966 Chevrolet C10 1/2ton pickup, fleetside w/8ft bed. 8783 miles, last driven regularly in 1968 or so, but regularly started and driven a little around the farm in the following years. Turquoise on gray, a little wear on the top of the tailgate, but otherwise looks like a 1 year old truck. Build sheet behind the seat looks like new. 250 6cyl/3 on the tree. No rust ANYWHERE. Just a strippo farm truck, but WOW. Books show #1 topping at $18K or so, with a 20% deduction for 6 banger, but $14-15K seems strong to me. I'm thinking $10k-12K to the right guy, but would like more input.
2. 1984 Pontiac Trans Am. 1900 miles. Brand New. Black w/gold tape and early Turbo wheels. T-tops, NO A/C or cruise(they all seem to have air), LG4 305/5.0L with T5 5 speed transmission. Power mirrors, windows, door locks, AM/FM/cass w/funky EQ, etc. Brand New. Did I say Brand New? It's not my favorite year for 3rd gens, but there just aren't any like this out there, particularly black/gold 5 speeds-even if it is an LG4 slug. An '87 w/4K miles did Ebay at $13,200, and a dealer stored '83 w/71 miles brought $26K, but that was at a high-dollar collection auction with factory experimentals selling alongside it, so I don't think that's representative. Books end at $7-8K, but that's not representative of a car like this. I'm thinking $15K, but I honestly don't know yet if that's selling it short or giving him delusions of grandeur. Help!
Thanks again one and all....
