Hi, Brand new.

I have a 1965 Dynamic 88 convertible with original white paint and recovered seats. I have no Idea what it's worth.

Is that your goal? To know the value? Do you want to sell it? A few pics and some more description would help. Does it run? Is it on the road? Any rust? How's the engine? You say the paint is original, but what shape is it in? Showroom condition? Faded? Just because it's original doesn't mean anything if it has deteriorated.

According to the latest Old Cars Price Guide, a '65 Dynamic 88 convertible in good running condition but needing full restoration is worth about $4,000. In showroom condition, it could be worth three or four times that.

Others will surely chime in with their opinions on the value as well, but they're all going to ask for pictures and a much more complete description if you really want a decent estimate of the value.

Welcome, x2 what Jaunty said. In addition remember it doesn't matter what any of the books or sites say. It all boils down to "it's worth what someone is willing to write a check for"!

I have a '66 Dynamic 88 vert and can give you a real world idea. I got mine 2 years ago and have been following the values since. A real nice driver quality is really only $5000-7000. Everyone who tries to sell one thinks they are worth $10-12k but they never sell so don't be fooled by asking prices. It is my first classic and is a great car....turn more heads when I drive it than any muscle car will. With a pix and more info can give you a better price idea

Thanks for all of your responses. It looks a lot like your picture, the paint is just about perfect but for some small nicks in front from gravel. You are so right about turning heads, I used to have a 66 GTO but never got near the response and looks as this 65 Dynamic 88. Will post some pictures soon.
