GTS and Formula s their real value?

[LovetheA's]

Everyone;

I thought that I'd take this from one of the older posts I put up because I think it is an interesting area of discussion. I'd like to get your thoughts and opinions on this please chime in.
If you look at the prices in some of the price guides referring to the Dart GTS and the Formula s they often will quote prices that I think are frankly a little low. I mean looking at a book and seeing a price is quite different than finding the right car for sale at that price. Even in a depressed market the more rare desireable cars bring decent money. I think that these cars don't drop percentage wise as much as the rare big dollar cars E's and B's because their values are not as inflated when the market is high.

Here are my thoughts on realistic prices:
Keep in mind these numbers reflect correctly restored matching numbers high #2 cars.
1967 GTS 4 speed $40,000
1967 GTS automatic $35,000
1967 GTS Conv?? Not sure Ultra rare but I'll say $55,000
1968 GTS 340 4 speed $42,000
1968 GTS 340 automatic $37,000
1968 GTS 383 4 speed $45,000
1968 GTS 383 automatic $40,000
conv. Add $7,000-$10,000
1969 GTS 340 4 speed $43,000
1969 GTS 340 automatic $38,000
1969 GTS 383 4 speed $48,000
1969 GTS 383 automatic $43,000
conv. Add $7,000-$10,000
1969 M code $60,000

I think that if you're talking 1967-69 Barracudas you would have to add $3,000 - $5,000 to each category increased desireability.

So what does everyone think? Am I crazy?

Those prices sure are nice but in reality I didn't have one person come and look at my 62,000 original mile, matching number, 1968 Barracuda, 340 Formula S, fastback, 4 Speed when I was asking $15,000 for it.

Too high. I know prices are higher back there, but still too high.

For instance 69 340 auto GTS with #2 resto, build sheet, tags, numbers motor is not $38K. More like topping out at $30K

Sometimes the Barracuda's don't always go for more $$. You'd think, but not always.

Do you own a 69 GTS or Dart? It seems so. Your 69 prices are all higher than 68 even though they made more 69 340 cars especially when you add the Swinger 340's in there. I think 68 and 69 is almost a dead heat. Some will say 68 go for a little more. Probably splitting hairs.

Way too high.I see really nice 68-69 340 auto GTS's listed for 18-25k all the time.
4-speeds are higher up in the twenties and seem to sell fairly quickly.

Pretty much all the ones I see that are priced in the 30s are on ebay on that Bestof**** place and they're usually on there month after month.

Any others on ebay that are up for auction rarely seem to break the 20k mark.

Back all those prices down 12-15 thousand in todays market

I like your numbers and think they are a bargain compared to finding a restorable car and taking on the task of a restoration. I think in real life to get that kind of money the car has to bring back some sort of memory from someones youth to open the wallet that wide.

I found it interesting that you had 69 cars valued higher than 68 cars. I like both but always had a soft spot for the 68 round clearance lights. I also aways thought the 68 cars would bring bigger money, not sure why maybe because of the Hemi SS cars during 68 left a lasting impression on people or they prefered the looks not sure.
