What's my car worth?! or How much should I pay?

The short answer seems to be from 200 $US to 25,000+ $US although there have been recent sales both lower and higher.

The 25k should get you close to a museum quality open Bantam... The former could get you a hulk of a Austin coupe that's been rusting out in the open for 50 years. Most cars are somewhere in between.

Price is a touchy subject, so I will just post a sort of running score here of ads, sales etc. that come to my attention and let you figure it out. Most of these will of course be asking prices, but if it's an actual sale I will indicate with an asterik * Prices are US$ .

Keep in mind that after these basic prices are digested the main issue is HOW COMPLETE and original is the car? If you are buying a project your job is going to be much easier if you don't have to spend a fortune in dead end phone calls, fruitless trips, and etherial leads trying to find the right tail lights for your car. Many sellers will not know the difference, so, of course it is "original". Never mind that sixty years of owners have been adding and subtracting parts, wrecking it, leaving it out in the rain and so on. Also, transporting these things all over the place is not all that easy. Better budget 500 to 1000$ more if it's not near you.

After that it's up to you. A fair price is one agreed upon by a willing buyer and a willing seller. You should both go away happy.
