Bad omen for the value of 69 M-Code Cudas
It is what you will pay for it. (or anyone else) Whatever the market will bear. I probably overpaid for my Swinger but it's a nice car and I like it, and I had the money to buy it. If I keep it long enough I will get my money back. We all hope for that although it doesn't always end up that way. What I think a M code car is worth doesn't make a bit of difference to you if you are buying. Many gauge the value on what one will sell for at one of the big auctions. I think that's inflated and you probably do too. You can look up old car prices on the net. That might be a sampling of the price but not a real world value. I have a couple businesses within a hour drive that sell old cars. One is Barrett Jackson prices and the other is Mecum prices for lesser quality cars. If you are looking to buy a old car it's good that you ask around for opinions as to value but everybody has their own opinion. Hell, my 66 Dart, HP 273, 4 speed, 8 3/4 Sure grip is one of 1237. I wish it was worth $15,000 unrestored. I know it costs $20 g's+ to resurrect a car. Is it worth $35,00? Nope. See my point? See the car in person, bring a knowledgeable friend, and wheel and deal. If you have $30,000 to spend and you find a nice car that you really like, and it's not way out of the ball park in price, pull the trigger and make yourself happy. Not rocket science. Just what trips your trigger and is within your budget. Sorry for the rant. tmm
