It's time for me to sell my '68 GT/CS. I'm caring for my elderly parents and need to sell it though it will hurt. My aunt bought it new in 1968. She was the proverbial little old lady in Pasadena. It had only 100,000 miles on the original engine when I got it in 1989. Since then, I've put just 25,000 miles on it in 25 years but it did have to have a new engine put in about 10 years ago. The new engine only has 1,000 miles on it. It has sat in my garage for the last 5 years without being driven so it needs the fuel system flushed but it was in excellent running condition when it was last running.
It's a C code and is completely original exterior and interior except for the new engine, even original paint! Exterior has parking lot dings along the ribs but otherwise excellent. It's never been in an accident. The interior is very nice except for a torn headliner. I have a replacement headliner but have not installed it in case a buyer wants to repair the original. Engine compartment is very clean and detailed nicely but not professionally.
I've looked at ads for the last year and it seems I should list it between $15,000 and $30,000 but I'm unsure how to figure out where in that range to price it.
How much does the single-family owned and nearly 100% original nature factor in? How much of a negative is it that it's not the original engine?
Opinions? Best places to advertise it? Anyone here interested before I advertise it?
Thanks for any and all help!
