Goodmorning i have a 1972 oldsmobile cutlass S numbers matching engine transmission and differential, bought it from an individual that the vehicle has been in the family since day 1 of this car, the paint is original, wheels original, original r12 system, original 2bbl carb, interior is prestine, paint is original petina little blemishes even the vinyl top is clean, all the chrome is good aswell, what would something like this be worth, also bumper is installed just didnt take updated photos, this is most recent ones i have, even has the original spare and jack kit too, everything works, just need to charge the ac system, however the ac clutch does turn on, so overall what would something like this be worth
However, the "Buyer & Seller Feedback" forum is a place to review transactions with other CO members, not to value cars for potential sale. Perhaps an obliging mod will move this thread to a more appropriate venue.
That said, posting more (and more detailed) images will get you a more accurate valuation. With what little you've provided, I'm not yet prepared to venture an opinion.
The plusses are it's in great shape, it's an A body, and it's a 2 door. It has AC.
The minuses are it's brown on brown on brown, has a vinyl top, AM only, 2 barrel, and I would assume is a peg leg 2.73
I mean the above as to how they relate to value. Assuming the engine and trunk are nice. I would insure it like any Cutlass S, like for $20k. That particular one I don't think would sell for 10 because of the above, but value, insured value, and what you can sell it for are three different things. So, I'd say it's worth 15 to 20, but won't sell for that.
For what it's worth, this is from the latest issue of the Old Cars Price Guide, which is from last November.
From the photos, this car is probably around a 3. We can't see the engine, and the condition of the engine bay will certainly have a bearing on how close it is to "showroom." Few cars are #1, not many more are #2. Most that you see at car shows are around #3. This car is probably worth something in the high teens.
If you're looking to sell it, stick a price tag on it of $20,000 and see what happens. If you get some interest and you can come to an agreement somewhere in the upper middle teens, you'll have done well. If you get no interest, you'll have learned something and can start lowering the asking price.
Whatever you do, don't say a price and then add "or best offer." That's a shoot yourself in the foot statement. Just mention an asking price and let the marketplace do its job. People don't need to be told that they can offer less than your asking price, and you don't have to let on that you're willing to accept something less, if you are. Let them make an offer to find out.
Gotcha yeah i was curious since its all original and even the old r12 system blows cold itll freeze you out, im fixin to buff and wax it once its all said and done to make it really pop
