a73elkyss 03-11-2006, 04:15 AM Check out the value of your ride at NADA Guides - Classic Car (http://www.nadaguides.com/ClassicHome.aspx?wSec=12&wPr=0&wPg=2002). It doesn't have all of the options or is as comprehensive as a modern car value guide, but it should at least get you in the ball park. What do you think? Take the poll. jayachtee 03-11-2006, 04:49 AM I've used NADA in the past and only hope the values are correct! I paid well below the low retail value of $2,494 for it and it was "drivable" but rough. The original MSRP of the '79s was $5,377 which is just shy of the $6,300 average retail value today. When it's all cleaned up and redone we're talking $9,240 high retail which I hope will be less than what I will have in it. I wonder what the next ten years will do to these numbers? A curious note: NADA considers the '79 El Camino a Sedan Pickup and not a Coupe Pickup. Am I missing some doors? :-D a73elkyss 03-11-2006, 04:54 AM A curious note: NADA considers the '79 El Camino a Sedan Pickup and not a Coupe Pickup. Am I missing some doors? :-D What? You don't remember the rare COPO Sedan pickup door option? Maybe that should be a question on the monthly quiz? jayachtee 03-11-2006, 05:08 AM I'd for sure miss that one on the quiz! Yenko just did Camero, Chevelle and Nova COPO cars. Just imagine a crew cab El Camino! Or a Yenko El Camino! :-D 77SS 03-11-2006, 06:05 AM Wow! I think the NADA prices were too high! It lists my ride's low retail at $1400 more than I paid for mine. According to the guide, I should now be able to get over $10K and maybe up to $15K for her. Any takers? a73elkyss 03-11-2006, 06:11 AM Just imagine a crew cab El Camino!:-D Like this? http://elcaminocentral.com/albums/album353/4doorelky2.jpg jayachtee 03-11-2006, 06:17 AM Just imagine a crew cab El Camino!:-D Like this? http://elcaminocentral.com/albums/album353/4doorelky2.jpg Well, let's not imagine. | ||
