I recently got an email from someone afraid to sign their name. The person was asking the value of a MINT condition 72 V8 grabber, with 48k original miles. I responded and stated that if it was indeed a mint car, and specified to him what I consider mint, that I would value it in excess of $6500.00. I had no other info, pics, options etc. He emailed me back stating that he had been offered $15k - 18K for the car. I replied that if indeed he did sell it for that much that I would be very interested in seeing some paperwork to document the sale. I am very skeptical of the whole deal but still my curiosity keeps me wondering if it is all true. And if it is, our cars are becoming quite valuable. Dan
IF he gets that much for it, I want to know more details, and yes, written proof that it did sell for that. -Corbin
I was once told by a car collector the following,"You can never pay too much for a collectable car. However, you may have bought it just a little to soon."
value I looked this up on www.nada.com and found the "National Average" price listing for this model: MSRP Original Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price when new $2,309 Standard Grabber: Low Retail Average Retail High Retail $2,025 $4,075 $8,250 Standard Grabber with Options and Equipment 302 V8 Engine add: 15% Low Retail Average Retail High Retail $2,329 $4,686 $9,488 Other Vehicle Information Model Number: N/A Weight: 2618 Value Explanations Low Retail Value This vehicle would be in mechanically functional condition, needing only minor reconditioning.

It would generally be in a museum or transported in an enclosed trailer to concourse judging and car shows.

As with anything, our cars are worth as much as anyone is willing to pay. If I had money that I wasn't real attached to, I might shell out $15K for the "right" original Mav.
I don't know... ..you have to have some particular interest in these things to pay that price in my opinion. There are plenty of Mach I's, Mustang GT's, Cougar Eliminators and probably a restorable Boss out there in that price range. I just don't see it as a price range overall at this time for these cars. But, it might be worth it to someone. Seth
