I’m going to go against the grain here

You said you paid $22,800 for the car last year. Cars have not gone up in price that much.

I think $25 is a fair number. In the current market I don’t think a low hp, auto, coupe will bring over $30 unless its top flight material. You might get slightly higher but you will wait for the right buyer

FWIW I have a 68 low hp coupe myself. No AC though. Though about selling it took it go a show put $26k on it and 90% of people looked at me like I was crazy and 75% said “needs a 4 speed”.

edit to add if I plugged everything in corvette DNA and didn’t miss anything I’m coming up with $23k there.

I am kind of with you on this one, I just did not want to rain on anyone's parade. That was the reason I mentioned Corvette DNA as a source. I wish it were worth $30K, since I have one in very similar condition (except my paint is original and not quite as nice) but I follow these prices pretty closely and the only 72s I see SELLING at 30K are LT1s and Big blocks with manuals. I think 25K is a good starting price, but the seller may have negotiate a little to move this car.
