This is what i found .Car been in old concrete floor garage since 1967 has 26000 miles.Been in a fender bender .the guy started the repair but that was all. i dont have grill headlight stuff surface rust in a couple of place no holes anywhere.Got engine to run 425- trans works brakes not working yet int good but back seats would need repaired.I think it has the oem tires on it plug wires has p/w p/s p/b trunk release in glove box am radio.What is this thing worth? I have looked all over internet have found only 3 for sale.

 

Got pictures for a better idea on the car's overall condition?

 

Please post pictures.

 

I will get some on here in next day or so.Thanks

 

Ballpark estimate: $3000 to $4000. Get it in fully running/driving condition with good brakes and all, and it'll be $4500 to $5000.

 

pics.This is how i found it other then i have cleaned it up.I plan to have it on ebay in a couple of weeks.

 

Looks like a decent project car. Do you have the front clip for it? Have you looked in any references like a NADA guide or Blue Book? It is hard to say what it might be worth. Maybe $3500 if it can drive around the yard or onto a trailer...

 

looks like a hell of a nice project car

 

I dont have any of the grill parts.NADA goes from 12k to 31k with avg retail of 23k.For ones that will drive.This one with a little more work would be able to drive.

 

Its worth what people will pay for it. NOTHING more!!

 

Yeah, I'm with Craig on this. Bottom line is to get top dollar you'll have to find someone looking for this specific car. If you plan to put it on ebay decide what's the least you would accept and call that your reserve. Then hope it bids higher than that. Here's a link to a 1965 Olds 98 convertible for sale in Lebanon Oregon. They're asking $3250 OBO and it looks like a decent project car that wouldn't take a lot to make into a nice driver. I wouldn't put too much hope in getting the NADA listed price for it, not in this economy. If you really have to get more that what it bids for on ebay can you wait until spring/summer when convertibles may be in more demand? John

That seems right for a completed 65 98 convertible, not one in need of restoration. I agree with John, set your resever on Evil-bay to what you want to get and go for it. After bidding goes on for awhile you will see what people are willing to pay for it.

 

The February 2010 issue of the Old Cars Price Guide puts the value of a #1 condition (better than showroom new and not driven) '65 98 convertible at $23,000.

In #2 condition (showroom new or nearly that): $16,100
In #3 (ready for the car shows): $10,350
In #4 (complete, driveable, but needing restoration): $4,600
In #5 (restorable, but may or may not run and possibly needing parts): $2,760
In #6 (parts car only): $920


With the missing front end, this car is most certainly no better than #5 in its current condition.

The prices change considerably from condition to condition above. Remember, these are only averages.


I went to the NADA site as Racer111 talks about, and they do give values ranging from $12,250 for "low retail" to $33,500 for "high retail" with an "average retail" of $22,700.

But I think these values represent the range of one particular condition, namely that of a #1 or #2 car. They specifically say that these prices are for "collectible" vehicles, not "daily drivers." Anything down in the low #3 or # 4 condition would be, by their definition, a "daily driver." Do any significnat restoration to it and it becomes "collectible" and goes for the higher values.

So the bottom line is, I think that the NADA prices are a bit higher than the OCPG prices, but not by very much. You just have to be careful to note what condition, specifically, is being referred to.

 

Car sold for $4500.00
