Using that logic, where would you put the price of a like condition 1969 A12 car?

Yes, a 69 model B body usually sells for more than a like condition 66/67 B body, however, does this outweigh the extra value of a true Hemi car?

I don't think there is any B body with any other engine that out values even a 66/67 factory Hemi car unless it maybe a winged car.

I own both a 66 Hemi car and a 69 A12 car. If both were in like condition etc. I value the Hemi car higher.

I think the price is fair...Considering what it is...Hemi,4 speed dana 60 car...It would cost you more if it were a hemi 67 gTx..

60K? It's close, I think I am calling..........

I think the '66 Satellite was THE most produced Hemi car, correct? From what I understand that diminishes the value a small bit. Plus for some reason '66-'67 cars don't sell as well. Especially Dodges(which I happen to love '66 Dodges). I think if I am gonna jump on a '66 Hemi car it would be the black Satellite that has been advertised here and there. But then again, my first ride was a '66 'Lite and any Hemi/stick car would be awesome. I personally think $60k is a bit high for this economy.

I don't think it's advertised as being the first 1966 model year hemi Plymouth vehicle built for public consumption,that car would have been built in 1965.I think they mean it was the first hemi built during the calendar year of 1966.It may be a first,but not the first.Looks like a nice car anyway,the E-bay ad may give a real world value.

You now, if it's as nice as claimed to be the price is OK I think. Of course I'd like to pay the 1984 price of $6K but oh well!

Don't count on that.

The high bid on Ebay will only show you what someone is willing to pay on the day that auction ends. It is not any kind of definitive number of what the car is worth other than THAT day for the people that saw THAT auction.

In the case of this car how many 66 Hemi Sats. with 4 speed are out there to choose from right now and what are the asking prices? THAT is what you have to look at first and then start comparing the condition, options, colors, etc. that make a difference to YOU the buyer? It doesn't make a rats *** difference what a bunch of guys sitting around their key boards at night THINK any particular car is worth because 99.9% of them are NOT buyers.

These old cars are still a matter of supply and demand. If you are willing to open your options up to several different years, models, equipment, color, etc. then you are more likely to find a bargain because the supply is larger. If you want a specific year, model, equipment, color, etc. and you have set a timeline on when you want it in your garage then you are going to pay more OR what a seller is willing to take. The guy that thinks he has all the time in the world and has a low ball number in mind that he THINKS he can eventually buy for may never find a car in his garage.

It takes a SELLER to decide what he will take for his car WHEN he actually wants to sell it and IF a buyer is available. It is no different than a home forclosure auction that people think the high bid is going to own it and then find out that the bank has a minimum bid on the property and it then gets listed for what they expect to get for it. There are very FEW great deals out htere today. You see most of Ebays old car auctions end with no sale because sellers are not willing to let people steal their cars.

People have this idea that it is a buyers market. The only time it is a buyers market is when a seller HAS to sell and the supply of buyers is limited AND there are not TWO buyers that are willing to out bid one another.

Based on CURRENT auction reports I think the buy it now of $65K is a fair price on the car, anything under that should be considered well bought. That is my OPINION but it is based on recent sales NOT just pulling a number out of the air.
