Determining value on project cars: 65 Valiant Convertible
Hey everyone,
I have a 65 Valiant project that I got 7 years ago in a 3 car deal. The prior owner was a nice old guy that just wanted out of the car hobby. I have had this car on the back burner for years while I have fixed up and sold several other cars. I just don't have as much interest in these early Valiants as I do the later A body cars.
I have a bunch of parts for the car, almost everything to put it back together. The specific convertible parts are included. The body is solid but needs to be massaged a bit. I have a 318 for it, a 904, a front disc brake setup, a 3.21 geared 8 1/4" axle, a 1966 steering column to allow mechanical shift linkage, grille, bumpers, NOS taillight lenses/backup lenses. Set of 5 14" rallye wheels. Rear seat and one front seat. No convertible canvas top.
I do not know what the value of these cars is. I've looked at finished cars and have seen prices range from $5000 for a worn but semi-original, driveable slant six car to $13,000 for a very nice but not factory correct "restored" car.
Has anyone seen or sold one of these recently? Can you provide any insight on a fair price?
