Thanks, I'll pick one of those up ASAP.

I have found that NADA has a 'classic car' pricing guide, which allows pricing of my 83. The standard guide doesnt price 83 cars.

This guide is mileage independent, and in excellent, usable (non museum, etc.) condition, price can bed as high as $6975

Im going to try and use that as a starting point. There are lots of cars on autotrader that verify such a pricing structure, and on ebay, the high quality CA cars with nice paint typically go for $5000

That'll do a lot of repairs or work...

Thanks,

JMH
