1964 Cutlass. NEED HELP! How much is it worth?

Hey guys. New here. I have this 64 Cutlass. How much do you think it'd go for?

Thanks in advance.

Value is real hard to state and I am not qualified to do that. That is a later model engine, at least a '69 vintage, this could be a positive of a negative depending upon a person's viewpoint. It will be interesting to see how it turns out. Good luck.

Introduce yourself in the new members' forum, everyone will make you feel very welcome here.

That engine has an EGR valve--1973 at least. Also has an HEI ignition--not sure when that came out. 1975?????

How long has the car been parked outside without a roof? Are those weeds growing up through holes in the floor?

The DualJet carb pegs this as a likely 260 motor, the EGR pegs it as a 1973 or later motor. The original 330 (along with the 1964-only accessory brackets) is long gone, apparently.

Sorry, but this is almost a parts car.

Pretty rough... if the frame is rotted its pretty much trash..... I do not see a lot of good parts here. Most everything is rusty or destroyed by time and the elements. The hard to find wheel well trim is missing. I am thinking its a 500 dollar car.....

Knowing just how bad the rust is would be critical for setting a price. The comments here are from the clues seen in the photos. For people here to really help you, you need to clean it up and post photos of just how bad the rust really is. That means the undercarriage as well due to the fact the convertible had a different frame than the hardtop or post cars. Restored it would be a really cool car, but the rust may be terminal and fixing it beyond the potential value of the car. Not trying to throw cold water on your enthusiasm, but we're trying to give you honest help. John

Thank you everyone for your input. However I gotta say, its more of a project car than a parts car. Maybe its just me. Maybe its the pictures. They were taken a while ago. Sorry.
The car is actually in pretty good condition. It just needs some work. The motor looks to be in good shape, the frame, quarter panels, grill, fenders and floor are all solid. Anyway, thanks again. I'll see what I could get for it.

Good luck, but you might want to remove those rose colored glasses that all sellers wear... Oh, and stop watching Barrett Jackson auctions - they aren't the real world.
