american collector....$100 per every $10,000 its worth....roadrunner had to be appraised

 

[Basketcase]

when i contacted American Collector, I did $35 0n mine and $12 on her VW and they wanted almost $800,double Hagerty's rate since we were with them.

 

[george68hemirr]

thats way off.....should've been $470 for both

 

[Basketcase]

that's what I thought, but Grundy was as bad.If nothing else I like having an agent local that I can talk to face to face instead of in an office states away.

[69hemibeep]

Interior is in good shape

 

[Basketcase]

not too bad

 

[69hemibeep]

I just looked at the license plate and it was last registered in 87. I hope the tank was emptied, ill put the nose test to it later.

 

[Roadcuda]

Looks pretty good there Bob! Wouldn't it be better to use a long stick to put in the tank?!?! Or do you like the smell of stale 27 year old gas?!?! :jester:

 

[69hemibeep]

Its like a dog sniffing another dogs butt :lmao:

 

[Basketcase]

"hey Honey, come here and smell this"

As you say interior looks great no rips or tears in seats or headliner.Is the car complete Bob or do you have to source a front bumper,grille etc.What's the gauge next to the Tach?

Its an oil gauge. I'm not finding a bumper or grill so it may end up a rare 68 1/2 like Geogies car, a 68 with a 69 grill. I wonder why the 68 grill never got repopped.

 

[Basketcase]

get ahold of Jeff @ 521 on the AMD bumpers. great guy, and really nice bumpers.
'68 grills pop up on FBBO ans moparts.

 

[69hemibeep]

This morning before it got hot I dropped the engine in maybe the trans Sunday.
