Vintage Cars: Fair selling price, ballpark figure, troise


Question
I have two 1972 Cadillac sedan Devilles...one with less than 60K and the other with less than 40K.  Both bodies are rough but interiors good and both mechanically sound.  I was planning on making one good car out of the both of these but gave up because of cost.  Could you give me a ballpark figure of what I could sell these for as a pair.  Thanks alot...Paul

Answer
Well, Paul, I don't know what you mean by "rough" but if you mean "fair" and not terribly rusted or damaged, probably $3,000-$3,500 for both cars would be plenty to ask. It's not a car that is likely to appreciate in value so any real money offered should be seriously looked at if you feel okay about it. I wouldn't let a real buyer walk away on these two.

best of luck with them,
