Old Ford Manual values

This may not be the right place to ask, but thought I'd give it a shot. Starting to clean up the house to sell and have found some older Ford manuals I have no use for and looking to see what they might be worth.

1st is 1989 Tempo/Topaz/Escort "Do it yourself serivce manual" 200 pages vg shape

2nd is 1964 Comet and Falcon shop manual vg shape for the age

3rd is 1961 Ford Car shop manual cover worn inside looks like never used

4th is I think kinda uncommon it is a green 3 ring binder letter is very worn but says Ford Fleet facts - Falcon/Fairlane/Ford/Thunderbird. Inside is a letter from the national fleet sales manager from 1964 explaining the book for the dealer. Book has seperate sections for each vehicle, around 30 pages for each, plus a section for engines and one for special vehicles. Also has a salesman fact finder for each model and a section that shows the models. Inside is excellent shape, looks as though it may have been on a self and never used

Manuals I have a rough idea of but the Fleet Facts book I have no idea on the value.

$100-250.00 to the right person

If the Fleet facts book has even one sentence about the Mustang (introduced 4/23/64) add another $100.00. There's prolly a date on the back cover at the bottom.

Thanks for the info, more than I though. No mention of the Mustang, dang. Looks to have been printed 8/63 by the date on the into page.
