I recently lost a 92 year old friend who left your basic "barn find". She had a 1977 Cutlass Supreme Brougham sitting in the garage basically untouched for the last 10-15 years. It's a 350 c.i. automatic with 50k miles and is in what I think would realistically be graded as Very Good condition. Body and engine perfect, no rust, no damage, needs detailing only.
My problem-The car is in Minnesota. I want to help sell it for her family and I don't know how to find a fair price/value and don't really know where best to advertise it. I've looked at Kelley, NADA, Car Soup, Cars.com, Craigs list, etc. and they're really not much help. I've got a garage full of classics now ( Model A, ******, Nova, Dodge pick up) so I use these forums a lot and know they're very helpful. If you have any ideas I'd appreciate hearing from you. Thanks.

Mike, Post up a couple pics if you can. That will get more people interested in giving you an opinion. There is also a 73-77 olds forum out there that might be of help as well.

Thanks. I'd like to have it detailed before I take pix. Will do.
Thx for the info on the other forum.

Mike, welcome to CO. Sorry for the loss of your friend and hope you can get yourself a good price on the car for the family.

The Old Cars Price Guide (where would I be without it?) puts the value of a #3 condition 1977 Cutlass Supreme Brougham 2-door coupe at $2160. For the 4-door sedan, it's $2070. In #2 condition, which would be showroom condition or very nearly that, and I think that this description might be a bit better than your friend's car based on what you say, those values jump to $3360 and $3220, respectively. It's probably safe to say that your friend's car is worth somewhere in the mid-to-high $2000 range ($2800? $2900?) because of the relatively low mileage and the fact that it appears to be one-owner(?).
