<h4 class="dechead">On One Hand: Make & Model
The first step in determining a car's value is associating what make and model the car is. Car valuations vary from each make and model. It is impossible to determine a value from the decade the car was made alone.
On the Other: Condition & Originality
The second most important factor in determining a car's value is the condition. Depending on the market, some models may be more valuable if left in the original condition they are found in. Other models must be fully restored to have any substantial value. Originality in cars is also extremely important in cars dating from the 1970's.
Bottom Line
Determining the make, model, and condition of the vehicle will yield a price that can be attained. An automobile from this era may be worth as much as scrap, or it can be a car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. Regardless of what an owner's intention is with a vehicle Be sure to get it appraised, as Preferred Consumer states, "One of the most important things you do once you acquire or finish restoring a classic car is to get an appraisal."
