Whats It Worth?

I would offer him 30K. You don't have his number handy do you [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/naughty.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I would actually offer him a little less because it may take a few bucks to get it going and looking right.

Was there a magazine article on this car a few years ago? Pontiac diehards might pay more than 30K, especially with such a low mileage car with a neat history.

I think the diehards would pay more than 30K also,maybe up to 40K with those documented miles [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif[/img]

Madman,

-------Even before I looked at the 1st post after yours I said 30 big ones to myself.Fluffed and buffed,with its history the car would bring more(marketed correctly).I dont want to get into how much more,but I think the 30 figure would be fair to you both.Wish I had a shot at it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...........Bill S

Motown,

What an incredible story! That said, I think I'd have to agree with Charley that the car is easily worth 50K given the 'provenance' (as they say on the Antiques Roadshow).

Being a family issue is where things could get sticky. If you intend to keep the car for a long time, then a 30K - 35K offer is not unreasonable. If it's only to keep a relatively short time and resell, then the price depends on what type of relationship you want to maintain with your cousin and/or other family members. If he offers you the car at a below market price with the understanding that you will keep it in the family, and you do otherwise, it may cause hard feelings. Good luck, and keep us posted [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I am with Charley on the 50+ figure.

Motown it seems strange that this car could have gone unnoticed for so long especially with a car person like your self in the family. Do you have any pictures to share with us?

Bill, you hit the nail on the head with the family problem. When I was about 22 I went to a family reunion at his house and it was the first time I had laid eyes on it. At that time I told him if he ever sold it to give me first shot to keep it in the family. Years had gone by and I had forgotten all about it, at a family wedding last fall which was the first time I had seen him since the reunion he asked me if I still wanted the car....WOW! I had no idea he still had it but immediatly said heck yes I wanted it, he said he was tossing the idea around as he was considering selling out and moving to Arizona. Life spun ahead and I forgot about it again until yesterday when the phone rang with him on the other end saying he was ready to let it go and what did I want to pay that was fair. I am going to his house this weekend to look it over and make an offer. The problem is this, I believe his motivation for selling to me is the fact that he has the idea I want the car to keep and not to sell. He is no dummy so I am sure he is aware of what it would bring on the open market, this comes down to a family thing and a promise he made me almost 30 years ago. At the moment I really cant afford to tie up that much $$$ just to have it sit, yet at the same time I cant afford to let it get away, so I tossed this question out here as to what would be fair and resonable between two family members that is the least amount I would have to tie up. Awhile back I had another red 64 listed for sale that belonged to a cousin on the other side of my family, it was a #3 at best driver which I sold for 11K. You guys think 20K would be an insult between family? But at the same time he is a family member I have only seen maybe five times in my entire life. Red Alert Bill, it was CKLW was it not? Or was it WKNR? I cant remember which and I forgot to ask when I had him on the phone. What to do......
