Looks pretty accurate toward my Vette.

Pretty cool.

First sensible guide I have seen recently. Thanks for posting. I have bookmarked.

Seems to be more accurate than most.

But it doesn't really give a good indication for a "custom" car.



Both my Vette, and my Mustang are customs, so the values Haggerty values just don't really apply.

Same as many others with customs here on the site, my car value is definitely higher than the Haggerty number.

I don't think that they could do one for custom cars with so many variables. They don't even go by it for the insurance. It's just a tool they provide to give you a ball park on what to insure your car for. Some of the numbers I saw for my car seemed pretty high on the scale to me.

Hi,
Those numbers seem to be what people THINK their cars are worth.
The person who'd pay that for my car isn't living on this planet.

Alan,

I have to disagree. My #3-4 1974 I could sell for $18,000 easily in the spring, perhaps more. The guide is very close.

A clean, mechanically fit, restored, and well-respected C3 will never be hard to sell.

Read the descriptions of condition carefully.

Here we go again. I know what a Pace Car is, but what is the difference between a 25th Anniversary L48 and a 1978 L48. The silver anniversary paint scheme was just an option when put on a non pace car 78.

You consider your car a #3-4? I'd say #2 anyday.

The value of my 72 base coupe is listed as having an avg value of 22k. Exactly where I figured it to be, and is my basis for my total restoration budget including the cost of the car.

Since that list is prepared by Hagerty, I suspect it is just an averaging of data they have from their "Agreed Value" policies. They likely have some 'grading' scale [1-4] for condition, and the process of setting a reasonable value by both car owner & insurer helps to keep those numbers reasonable.

If this is how they get their numbers, there won't be and data for 'modified' cars, as they tend to shy away from insuring them.

P.S. Note that the chart only goes to Oct. of 2011. Their next publication of updated data should show those plots heading back 'north'.

And especially the values Hagerty would like to insure them for.

Entertaining mouse clicking just the same.

All depends on where you are located. Some areas are less "financially stressed" then others. Look at Orlando Fla. There is no recession going on there. Walt Disney and Universal both had to shut people out at 11:00 am do due full capacity!

Paul I would say yours is a strong #3 as I think mine's a #3 also. I'm insured with Hagerty for the $18,000 they say it's worth. I think that's a bit high but given time the market will come back to that. I'm not sure a 74 exists that's a #1 according to thier description and a #2 would be almost a brand new car. I was thinking their #1,#2,#3,#4 were a little higher in condition then I would have thought though. I would have thought a #4 or #5 condition would have been closer to a junk car.

UberLegend

Thanks, interesting reference points.

Paul L

I was looking at #3 value as well, particularly in the spring. I have no idea where you would find a #1 1974.

Some prices seem a bit high. I didn't see any mention of whether the prices are based on the assumption of 'matching numbers'. It does make a difference. How much? Up for debate....

For cars other than Corvettes the matching numbers seem to be less significant though still an consideration.

mrvette

GOT NEWS, all the guys that were interested in a matching numbers 'dream' from their youth, either have one OR not into the game....

BTDT with a friend in the V8 Ford club years ago....

all the guys bidding up these 'NCRS' cars are going to lose out to the hotrodders in the longer run....

just watch, I know I"m right.....

and no, my car is not for sale, it goes to my son....so I really don't GAS ....his problem...

noonie

From Hagerty
Pretty clear that even in the worst condition #4, only different wheels and interior are allowed.


That pretty well sums up the future.
There will always be a value for a few exceptional cars just because they are a financial commodity and treated as such.

The only car I've seen on here that could be a #1 would be that recently found Pace car with the dust, just because it was completely untouched.
Very few cars would would be #2s and the majority would be low #3s and higher #4s
That's the way insurance companies have always valued the cars.
