how much is a 51 year old car really worth!!!

[cla51c]

Hello,    I am after an idea of how much my FC is worth?  It is a windowless van, hr front end, 161 HC and powerglide. It has a modified grill, bonnet and tail lights. It also has all the usual rust and requires a fair amount of work!! Like many others i have many other projects/interests and would like to sell. any input would be welcomed! thanks jason

Hard to tell without pictures, even better is an inspection in person.
Generally, assuming the car is in roadworthy condition - Stock cars will always get a good price as they are a known quantity, Modifieds if done well will also fetch good prices but when it comes to customs it's a matter of taste and a very small market. If the custom work has been done well (and tastefully) and you get lucky with a buyer who like the custom work then you are in with a chance.
Keep an eye on ebay, carsales.com and the Trading Post to see what is for sale and what prices they are getting.

Hey Jason
Sounds like the van may have been customised awhile ago....any idea of it's history?
Some more details around the mods would help.
A pic would be even better.
Email them to me if you don't want to post them yourself and I will take care of it for you.

Where are you located?
Regards
