Today, that particular model would auction between 45,000 - 80,000,
Just goes to show, you never can tell.
I bought a 1960 Chevy 348 convertible for $300.00 in 1966. I sold off the extra speed parts I found in the trunk for $240.00. Two years later I traded it for $600.00 on a fairly new 1965 Plymouth Fury III convertible.
I thought I was a genius at buying and selling cars.
That car today sells for over $35K
However, I would have spent more than that on repairs and insurance ( not to mention fuel consumption).
We cannot all make money buying and selling our toys. Some do, yes. But most of us,,,; buy cars for the love of having them.
