Looking to sell my 26 Buick 27 Standard

[Guest 97welter]

I bought this a while ago. it had sat in climate controlled storage for >40 years. There is no rust or rot. Just a couple holes in the pan under the original 207 inline 6. The interior is pretty nice, just dusty. The vinyl top is good too, just dry cracks everywhere. The tires are shot, but will hold air to move it around. I did get it running, it had a bent push rod. So I fixed it. It shows 29k on the odometer. Some of the hardware is removed but I have it all in boxes. The paint looks original and seems like it will shine up, of course there is some flaked off here and there. Im looking to sell it, just dont know what to ask. So Im looking for some suggestions......

Wow...talk about a good candidate for the HPOF category!

I'd say somewhere between $5000 and $7500. Given the current state of the economy, nothing in the old car market is bringing what it is worth, or was worth a few years ago. A lot depends on how quickly you want to sell it. If you hold out for top dollar, it could take quite a while.

They say free advice is worth what it costs, so I don't mind if other folks disagree.

I agree, maybe a little less if you really need it to move. Still a tough market out there.
