Do what everyone else does.... Throw a big-a$$ number on it and let the potential buyers dicker away!! Eventually, someone will cough up an amount that you can live with.

Agreed that you should get it appraised. Then it is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. 7T1vette has a good point too...don't start too low because you will be beat down. Good luck!
Oh....I'll give you $1,000 sight unseen for it..... KIDDING!!

5 star bow tie sounds great. How did the car score during flight judging?
A numbers matching original 427/390 auto coupe probably has a value range of 35k to 50k depending on condition and options.
I would guess that the 5 star sign off probably adds 25% to the value of the car.

My 3-star 71 LT-1 convertible with 30 k miles sold for about a 35% premium. My 4-star 62 with 41k miles sold for almost double. In both cases, the cars were never advertised, and buyers came to me asking if I was willing to sell. I was very fortunate. In general, the newer the model, the more bow tie cars there are. Good luck with yours!

chassis = 93%
