RIP 1964-2006
I seem those little promo models for sale at the Carlisle PA swap meets. Seems like they were common on up through the late 70's, and then they started phasing them out. I have seen newer ones, but they're just not as common as they once were. One of my friends has a promo model of a Mopar LH car. I think it's an Eagle Vision, but can't remember now for sure.
I'd have no idea about value, but if you go on eBay and look around, I'm sure there would be something that might give you a ballpark idea.
Or see if other similar models are for sale there. You won't get the same price as for the Mopar muscle car models unfortunately.
And as others mention, some of the later musclecar promos are worth more, as well as some 50s cars. The mid 60s seem to be the most common.
EDIT - in fact, here's a pic of the Galaxie promo along with a 62 T-Bird

It was pretty basic: auto, PS PB, AM radio, and a roof rack. I remember they had two on the lot: the one we bought, which originally had bias-ply tires, and a white one with a black interior, that had the Polysteels but no roof rack. Dad wanted the roof rack and the radials, so they swapped wheels and tires from the white car. The only problem we had was that the valve cover leaked oil almost from day one. When he took it in to get that dealt with, I was surprised that they replaced the valve cover with a different design. The one it had originally was very rectangular in shape at the top, while the new one was more rounded in that area.
