Classic car evaluation
Can anyone tell me where to find the true value of an antique car? I have a 1964 Ford Fairlane 4 door sedan, and is 95% mint condition. I have searched the internet for forums with no luck. I have read it is valued anywhere from $4,000 to over $10,000.
If anyone know of any clubs, collector, or other forums that could help, would you please post...
Thanks,
PSDboy

There is a Fairlane owners club out there...you can search for it. If it was a two door it would be worth quite a bit more, as I'm sure you know. I have a friend selling a ThunderBolt clone...428 CobraJet, tubbed, etc. I think he's asking $20 or $22K for it.
Good luck.

The 4k dollar mark shouldn't be off that bad.

There's a HUGE difference between "appraised" value and "market" value. Appraised would be used for insurance purposes, but you wouldn't get anywhere near that if you were to try to sell it. I'm sure it's a nice car, but you have to stand back and be realistic about a mid-60s Fairlane. It's called "supply and demand." Ford made a ton of them, and a lot of them survive to this day. Not everyone will be beating down your door to buy it (unlike a Mustang or a '57 Chevy), so that does limit the value.
