1964 Daytona 4Dr 259 V8 Mint Cond

I have recently accuired a a 1964 Daytona 4Dr 259 V8 car in near mint condition.Found her in a garage covered only has 40,000 miles on her.I have no idea what the car is worth.Runs like a champ.Needs tires they are cracked badly.I offered the owner 3,500$ he said he would take it.Car is in near show room quality-no rust.Question is is the car worth 3500 or not at all.Please help!

[Scott]

YES, absolutely it's worth that, especially if you want to drive it and have fun with it. I've seen ones like that go for up to $7000.

If it is "showroom quality" it is certainly worth that (maybe triple that)...however, the definition of "showroom quality" varies. For me, it would be difficult to have a vehicle with 40,000 miles on it and look like it just came out of the showroom (possible but difficult).

Even if it is just a good #3 car, however (Very good, completely operable original...most of the vehicles seen at car shows are #3's) you did just fine.

Mr. Taz,

If you are concerned about being upside down on the car please let me know. I think I could scrape together enough money to reimburse you for your purchase.

Im not really interested in keeping the car.More so in cleaning it up and maybe have it detailed and make sure all is mechanically sound.Hoses,belts,tires,ect.Just the little things and re-selling the car,because it really needs to be in the hands of a collector or someone who know more about the car.

I've found it hard to get much over 4K for a 4 door 64 unless it's nearly flawless, then maybe a bit more. You might be better off selling it as is for a smaller profit then to end up putting a lot of money and labor in the car and getting upside down. i.e. tires, brakes and odds and ends could put you $4000-$4500 in and then risk just breaking even.
If it has AC, bucket seats or other nice options, that will add to the value.

Taz, you might just find that you like driving it! If not, I'm sure some of the fellows here would be happy to take it off your hands.

Can you post some pictures?
