4 speed or automatic? Could you post pics of your car before the accident? I've seen cars in the low 60k range all the way into the 130k range.

last time I checked, their estimates were pretty high - which would be a good thing in this case....

doing a quick check - low was 27,600 - high was 79,400

I did not select any options after choosing your model

nada and kbb are not good indicators of value for classic cars.

[CrazyPete]

i got those

Beautiful car. Any shots of the interior, engine compartment, trunk area and undercarriage? Is that the original color combination? The more complete picture we have the better we can asses the value. Also numbers matching, broadcast sheet? I know this is still a fresh and sore subject but do you have any pictures of the damage?

Not sure if this helps much but it does fall pretty much right tin the middle.

I agree that they are not the best indicator, but they are recognized as having some credibility. Unless CrazyPete gets lucky and has an estimator that knows about mopars, he (CrazyPete) has to have some kind of documentation on his side. Without an actual appraisal pre-accident, there aren't a whole lot of sources to go to for proof of worth. I hope that things work out....

thanks for the input guya i juat kinda searched around and found what i could i just want some numbers to back up replacement value so when he comes over i can give him some things to mill over

[ntstlgl1970]

Maybe you could check completed sales at auctions like barrett jackson or steele. I checked completed sales on ebay and there was only one listed at around 14k within the last month. I would think the collector auctions would have the highest prices paid. I think that is the key is a completed sale, not what someone is "asking" for a car like yours.....
Again, I hope that things work out

Please tell us you have a classic Ins. Co. and not just a regular company like alstate or one of those. When I had my dammage Hagerty sent an adjuster and he didn't argue about anything. He had them do what the shop wanted without question.

Best of luck!!!!!!!!!!

Alaskan T/A (Barry) is the guy to ask

[CrazyPete]

i was dumb it was just a reg insurance company thats why all the headache i did add extra coverage for the car about 12 years ago i knew i needed better coverage i had a call into haggerty that i never heard back for about a month ago the damage isnt horrid once i get a call back from the adjuster i'll post pics of the aftermath its basically the pass door, rear 1/4 ,front clip and rad support and a some damage to the b pillar(prob have to do some pulling)

Find a classic car appriaser in your area and pay to have him do a seperate appraisal if your insurance doesn't come back with an offer to your liking.
