I have a 1964 442 that has been in the family since the showroom floor. It needs to be restored, but that's not something we can take care of right now. I'd rather see it go off and get properly restored than rot away. Can someone point me in the right direction to look at values so I could list it if possible? Thanks.

 

Pictures will help greatly.... Price will be determined when it actually sells. We can give a rough estimate though with more info.

 

Those are worth about $150
I'll offer $200 and tow it away for free!

I personally like Collector Car Market Review, but remember, you have to be honest with yourself about its condition when deciding its condition number.

And, per Pawn Stars/ swap meet pricing:
Pick a reasonable number.
If selling, multiply by 3 to 5
If buying divide by 3 to 5.

But seriously, be aware too that some old cars are parts cars. Rust can be repaired but it is exceedingly expensive unless you do all the work yourself, and then you need the metal, which is.... another car, usually... might as well fix up the other car!

 

According to the Old Cars Price Guide, and assuming this is not a convertible,

parts car only condition: $1,300 to $1,600
non-running but restorable: $4,000 to $6,000
runs and drives but needs complete restoration: $6,000 to $8,000
"car show" but not showroom condition: $15,000 to $17,000
showroom condition: $24,000 to $27,000
"better than showroom" (trailer queen, never driven): $34,000 to $38,000

 

Actually, for once, those numbers aren't completely out of line with actual ebay auction data. Restorable cars tend to be in the $2K-$4K range, running but needs restoration in the $5K-$7K range, and "car show" condition in the $14K-$17K range. As above, the amount of rust is really the determining factor, as repro panels are not available for these cars.
