Welcome for another DFW Texan. Very nice and unusual car. As treasurer of NTOC I invite you to visit us an our next monthly meeting. We meet the second Sunday of every month and the location will vary sometimes. Most of the time we meet at Sonny Bryants in Richardson. I think our February meeting is going to be at the TLC (formerly Texas Land & Cattle) Restaurant by Bass Pro on Lake Ray Hubbard. Hope to see you there.

More pics with options, it has any. Problem areas, (rust) and rust shots will go along way. Welcome, pics and more info. With what
you have and the times being what they are, $3500 might be a start, GLWS. A video with it running will go farther as well. Glws.

I have a 66 442 vert for sale for 30 and I have gotten several interested but nothing solid. I will keep it for any less... Oh, You'll get those low baller calls too.
Is it November yet?

Don't feel bad. I couldn't figure it out either. What was the asking, what was the reserve and what was the last bid? Obviously, it didn't meet your reserve, identifiers for sale price?
Maybe it's just me but your link didn't work for me either. Maybe I din't click what needed to be clicked.
From the pics and description, $3500 would be a steal.

I'm on the fence. Was testing the market with Rick at Duncan's Auctions, earlier this year at Southfolk and recently with his online auction in July. Driving it around in Plano, too many people come up behind me too fast. It's a Classic! Doesn't handle like my other cars. Again, just toying with the idea.

Reserve was $15,000.
Last bid in February was $10,400. Most recently $8,000. As you mentioned, marketplace is not that great. Also, I have NOS parts for it. Found boxes of them, after my Dad passed away and was cleaning out his house.

My humble opinion $10,400 would be a fair price for a 4 door 66. Unfortunately more doors just don't bring the price..... Tedd

Thanks for your feedback. Knew a 4dr would be a hard sell in any market.
