How to value your FD

BTW if we are using numbers of cars sold as an expertise don't forget that up until a few years ago DJ used to be adamant that FD's would NOT appreciate in value. But I guess that's different right?
Granted, in his defense he actually made a thread to acknowledge that he had been mistaken all those years. So kudos to him for that.

So are you saying that just because you and David said it that should be treated as gospel?

So kudos to him for that.I hope you realize David is still buying and selling FDs, or in other words he has a very good handle on the current market even today? That said nothing has changed other than they are all more expensive. Again the rarer FDs will start to command 10k plus in value over the general market of touring cars.

BOTTOMLINE: It all matters (year, model, color etc...) and the more valuable these cars become the more it's going to matter

I don't know, they didn't build all that many FDs. At some point, I think people care mostly about condition rather than how rare the car is within its model year. We'll see how it all plays out--I'm surprised at how many "unicorns" we're seeing in the past year.

I understand you want a credible source to say hardtops are worth X amount more. Maybe that will happen, maybe it won't happen. Until then we can have fun and argue

Yeah. This could be the start of something big. The Montego and Tan combination with a sunroof being the car to break in the $60's is mind-boggling. Wonder what a black/black R1 with 2,500 miles would do?

It's awesome that there were several interested bidders at 50k and up.
This really does set a new bench mark for the FD and it's value.
As mentioned we will likely start to see some very nice cars going on the auction block. Hopefully a super low mileage R2.
