Default Suggested Sale Price ?

I have an original 1974 XB Falcon 500 Coupe, 250 motor, auto. I am thinking about selling but not sure on what price ? (its a big decision as I have owned for 24 years). Any suggestions is to what its current value is would be much appreciated. (I.m not really a 'car guy' I just ended up with this car and had for a long time)

Details.
I am second owner - original sale receipt
original paint and motor
Original log book and all receipts for the last 24 years
8 months rego
Goes great, very reliable
ERPS anti rust device

Only mods I know of
bonnet replaced in 1984
reconditioned transmission in 1998
mags installed 2005
original interior re-trimmed 2006

I can't help with its current value as its all in the eye of the beholder.

But I will says this, normally original will make a classics value higher, but in cases like these old Falcons I believe the modified ones with a V8 are worth a lot more.

well done on keeping it in such good condition for so many years, but I would consider paying to have it modified to make a profit here.

An unrestored XB koop with no rust? I'd be wanting ~70k, because the same car with a V8 in that condition would be ~$90-95k

Good luck.

No structural rust, just like he usual small bits around window seal/odd spot on paint. It’s not a show car, just pretty good for 48 years old

As above 65 to 75k, Quick sale would be 50 to 60k. Just my opinion, you could get a local car club to price it or try a falcon coupe site.

I think you could push for more with it being so original.
I'd be expecting closer to $90k

Agree, auction, set a good reserve you're happy with, it will sell for sure.
Grays seem to have a good market for Aussie cars.

Seeing that a blue VL Walkinshaw sold at auction last Saturday for $335,000, time is still right to sell via auctions. As per above, the range of $60k to $90k sounds about right so put a reserve on it and let the market decide.
