My friend has lots of Olds cars I'm trying to buy his 71 Vista it has 455 /air cond. black interior great body. What is a good price right now it does run and drive. Just looking for ballpark price. Its in Calif.

 

Not much of a description, so I'll go with about that much...

 

depends on the body.there is one out here in wisconsin and the guy wants 7k for it,but it looks like it needs alot of work

 

Hagerty, site says,$5200 up to 23000. Gerald, just curious, is that one of Dennis car?

 

😂🤣😂🤣😂

U code? If so, the car maybe 5k, look for rust around the side windows and roof, I spent a ton on one, and finally sold it.

 

And the spare tire well.

 

In June, NADA values for a Vista with 455 and air were...
$19,200 low retail
$37,500 average retail
$70,900 high retail

Those look high, but I insured mine for $50,000 and Hagerty didn't blink.

 

Wow those prices seem crazy high. 20k for low retail? Up from there? Wow.

 

Those are more traditional valuations for a Vista. However, keep in mind that a 455 with air conditioning is worth 20% more than those values, which are for a base vehicle (350 2-bbl, no air).

 

I bought my rusty Crusty 71 for $1500.
Rust-free car would be worth a lot more, but this one has a 455 and A/C, and ran, and I've been wanting to learn to do bodywork, so this was a cheap canvas to start on.
Main plus's for me was Vista glass was all there, and tailgate was in great shape, and rear window even worked.
The rust-free tailgate, and the unbroken Vista glass is worth what I paid for the whole car. LOL
