ALLEY CAT Prowler Junkie Posts: 36093 From: Mesa, Az Registered: JUL 2000	posted 03-16-2004 02:48 PM My original estimate of 50K was right in the ballpark. I can't see how you could lose on it,,,,unless,,,,,,there has been a raccoon nesting in it with Cookie, lol
tangled up in BLUE Prowler Junkie Posts: 11086 From: New Castle, Ind Registered: DEC 2000	posted 03-16-2004 03:16 PM big thanx to Yellow Fever....the kind of info I was looking for....you guys are a lot of help....... AC....bad news about Bruce the racoon.....It got to close to the kitchen and Cookie was off her diet that day.....all I found was the boney part of the tail on the garage floor.......

Looks like a lot of cherry ones in the $30K range. Try to bargain with them in the low $40's or perhaps upper $30's. Let me know if you need more info

DR PROWLER Prowler Junkie Posts: 4079 From: TORONTO,ONTARIO,CANADA Registered: JUL 2002	posted 03-16-2004 04:47 PM Our trip to the Corvette Museum in Auburn last year was spectacular.When you see how the car evolved makes you appreciate it so much more. What a difference in prices from 30's to 70's depending on the condition. Good luck in your decision!
thedqman Prowler Junkie Posts: 1459 From: Marco Island Fl Registered: NOV 2001	posted 03-16-2004 05:39 PM Tangled I had many. 54 is not what you want 55 will appreciate most quickly ( 700 made,only one with the V8) 53 too expensive (300 made) Mike
Top Kat Prowler Junkie Posts: 1386 From: Glen Allen, Va U S A Registered: OCT 2002	posted 03-16-2004 09:46 PM Larry, DQMan, is correct. The 54 is the least desirable of the three years. It is still a good find though. In the condition you say it is in, I would would MAX it in the mid to high 20's. If the car would clean up well and only needs a spot paint here and there, it would be worth more at resale as a survivor, as apposed to restoration. Hope this helps you. Good luck. Jim

ALLEY CAT Prowler Junkie Posts: 36093 From: Mesa, Az Registered: JUL 2000	posted 03-17-2004 09:49 PM I'm reporting Cookie to P.E.T.A. Did Bruce the raccoon taste like chicken? That tail will make good oxtail soup.
