Best way to sell your car, marketplace, Hemmings, sites like this?

Obviously the best way to sell is word of mouth. Give the buyer the advertising savings. The next is free listing. Like here in A,B,C,E Bodies site.

I have sold a couple on here and on Cars-on-line. Cars-on-line took time but brought quality buyers for both cars I listed. One went to New Zealand and the 71 SE I built is now in Michigan. I sold two Chargers on FBBO to a dealer in Germany when I listed one and he saw the other one in back ground pics.

As with any ad quality is key. I usually make my listings fairly short with a link to a photo album that shows every detail of the car from start to finish. Take extensive pictures! Interested buyers will click an look at the album.

Have to take a lot more pictures of the interior and underneath in the next few days. Thought about having a appraiser come and due a detailed printed out appraisal, but he wants like $300. Not feeling it.

Post it here first. If it sells, no fees.
Not sure what bring a trailer charges, but they seem to have good exposure.
Recently seem this https://www.youtube.com/@GuysWithRides1 you tube channel. Not sure if it had good exposure?

If you decide to list it on BAT, make sure you pay attention to the comments. Potential bidders often ask questions in the comments and if you don't answer them, the bids will reflect your lack of participation in the process. A cold start video and a running/driving video also go a long way over there.

This ^^^ - active and participating sellers will see the highest bids. Also, be prepared to take more videos and pics to answer questions and keep your auction up to date. Bidders that are "watching" your auction receive text messages and emails when you post new pics and videos.

Appraisals are worthless IMO and has little to no impact on what someone will pay for the car. The only type of appraisal that is worth anything is a validation of a rare numbers matching car.

Agree, Appraisals are for insurance. Selling is what the market brings and how much you accept.

A nice looking '74 Cuda went up on Bring a Trailer yesterday. You can watch that to get an idea how it goes with a car from that category.

Well went to take more pictures of the underneath and interior and engine bay but my digital camera finally bit the dust. It fell off the back of my pickup last year (don't ask) lol and now it's finally done. Need to find a cheap digital camara that takes standard sd card, not micro. Lot of choices out there. I prefer camara to phone its just easier for me.

When I listed my Cuda on BAT, it was $99 for the listing and professional photographer. He knew of a great spot, took all the required photos and then some, and uploaded them all to BAT. Well worth it IMO.

I sold my Mustang last year. I listed it on Cars on Line and E Bay at the same time. You will get more exposure with Ebay. However, one guy contacted me from NC from the Cars on Line ad and instantly purchased it for my price. So, it just depends what someone is looking for. BTW your car looks very familiar. I like it.

I hope you have good luck with the sale, and keep this post active. I'm considering putting my '70 up for sale also, so it'd be nice to know the current market for these, Thanks...

Professional photos really help with marketing. My fifth GTX, showing the difference between a professional photo and one that I took. As a buyer, I never cared much about pictures. I placed far greater importance on documented history, limiting my search to heavily documented, numbers matching cars. People buying the cars I sold seemed to fall in a similar subset. However, this is just a small segment of the market, and the mainstream likes lots of good looking photos.

The flip side of this is that dealers sell a lot of over priced junk with the aid of great photo galleries.
