<VV> Re: Trying to appraise my Greenbrier-Need help on Value Issue 173

[Gary Swiatowy]

I have never heard of any FC being sold for even close to that amount. I 
have heard of a Concours Senior Division Spyder Convertible being sold for 
around $18,000, but a Greenbrier?
You say it is of Concours quality, has it competed in Corsa Concours? How 
about AACA. A pedigree of that nature is required to even start to approach 
that level of value.
The FC's have so far not as far as I know sold for record values, though I 
have heard of some going in the $8000 range.

An appraiser likes to see receipts and documentation of NOS parts, do you 
have pictures of the restoration? A good appraiser also will research values 
of recent sales of similar vehicles. If the Vehicle was a Hemi Mopar, you 
would find some big numbers, but most likely not a Greenbrier.
Check the link below for pictures of a restoration of an FC which I would 
consider senior division quality, and I would estimate it's value in the 
range you are looking at. especially pay attention of the underneath detail.
