Welcome to the forum! Wow what an incredible low mileage car you have there. All the best with figuring out how to sell it.
Cars like yours, super low mileage and hoped to be a collector piece one day but aren't quite old enough to be considered that yet can really take a hit in the marketplace, so I'd suggest putting a reserve on it if you have a certain number in mind. If I were you though I'd keep it the way it is for another 5-10 years when it'll finally reach collector status.

It's covered right now. What is good about Grundy? I probably get a better rate with my regular insurance company since I am able to bundle everything on one policy. But I don't know that for sure. I've never called Grundy.

It was on jack stands for a little while, not the entire time it was sitting. He kept air in the tires. Everything with the suspension seems tight, like new. the Tires appear to be just fine, no flat spots.

Grundy, Hagerty, etc. is collector car insurance where you essentially tell the company how much you want it insured for. They then base your premium on that. Otherwise, your regular insurance company is likely going to base its value on current NADA value. I'm guessing it'd be in the ball park of $15-$20k retail that way; however, I'd have that insured for at least original MSRP.

I think your car could get anywhere from $27-$32k from the right investor. Do you have all the original paperwork, manuals, window sticker, etc? Can you park the car near the auction with a forsale sign in the window? Maybe have the original window sticker on the window, etc?

Collector car provenance is why. When you have a specialty car and someone is looking to keep it a long time to hopefully get a return on it paperwork is absolutely key.

She sold. Got almost what I was hoping to get. If I could have picked a number that I would have been thrilled with,that number would have been $25k. It sold on eBay for $23,600.00 to a person in Chicago. There are several people wanting upper 20's to lower 30's for these cars, but wanting and selling are two different beasts. I'm very pleased with the $23,600.
For the amount of cars like this that were produced they are readily available in today's market. Most of them are low mile cars, too. This one was on the low end of the scale. I found one with 232 miles on it. But it's not selling because the seller thinks it's worth more than it really is.

I would have kept it and drove it every sunny day in my fathers honor.... these cars are made to be driven and very doubtful they will gain any value within our lifetime.
The key is having fun and living life... should have drove it and lived a little....

Actually, it's not. I'm turning around and buying a better car that i will drive everyday and the cash I got for this car won't dictate the money I am going to spend. I don't need the money, trust me. The fact is, I think the car is ugly and I'm not a Firebird body style fan. I don't like the flash of a yellow car. I do believe cars are made to be driven, this particular car would not be by me and I don't want to store it. Someone else can enjoy it. It's that simple. This car had a killer engine, in my opinion that's it. But to each his own. If you're a fan more power to you.

Thanks, man. I will be excited to see how pleased the buyer is when they pick it up. I'm glad I found someone who will love the car. Sounds like it will be a sunny, sunday afternoon type of car for this person.
