1967 datsun convertible
Hi,
I have a 1967 Datsun convertible, silver. It runs well. It needs some brake work, but it is driveable. I drove it to and from work for about 2 months whle my other car was being fixed.
Here is my question. I am not up to keeping up with this car. I love it, but it is beyond my skills.
I need to either sell the car or trade it in. I have no clue what the value of the car is.
If someone could help me out with an idea on what i should be asking for the car that would be great.
And do dealers even take old cars like this for trade in?
A little mroe about the car.
My grandmother bought the car in 1970 it has beenwith the family ever since. It has all of the original dash and seats. THe AM radio even works.
It was involved in an accident (a silly teenage girl ran into it while it was in the garage.. long story) My grandfather and dad did all fo the repair work and i think you can't tell that the body was dented at all. this was about 12 years ago.
Thanks for your help!

The car's history is a plus. I'd guess somewhere between $4,000 and $7,500, unless it is a) shabby or b) spectacular show car, then deduct or add accordingly.
The interior looks great. I think i said the entire dash is all original and everything still works. THe seats are original and in great shape. THe paint job is very nice silver and shiny. The soft top is in good shape, but the back window part needs cleaning up, and i don't know how to do it. The seals are all excellent though, I have driven it in the rain and not gotten wet ;-)
ANy suggestions on where i would list it for sale to get serious offers?
Thanks,

Best thing would be for you to go to these websites and monitor other people's asking prices for a while.

I think I am going to sell her, as hard as that is for me to do. She needs someone who can spend more time on her than I can.
If your really interested let me know, and make an offer.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Again it is a 1967 , original interior, silver, It will need some work, but it does run. Has a soft top that coems with it, needs to be cleaned. It got me to and fromwork for about 7 months, but hasn't been driven in about 2 years. Has been owned by my grandmother for, forever. The body is in great shape, it does overheat when driven for more than about 30 minutes on hot days.
It is in Midland Texas, so if someone wants it they will have to arrange pick-up.
So, make me an offer, or contact me privately and I'll discuss price, There is a lot of sentimental emotion tied up in this car for me, so i'm not going to sell to a low-ball offer.
tbread -- I don't know why I'm being so gracious, seeing as you haven't followed-up on this car for over 6 months, but I'll grant you "shotgun" status.
cwornell -- I've been looking for this exact car for some time. I stumbled onto your postings by chance, but I am very serious. Please forward pictures to me directly if tbread doesn't make good on his "promise" to make you a reasonable offer.
Thanks

I was wondering if you every sold your datsun. I live in the Seattle area and I was searching for 67 datsuns for sale and came across your posting. Did you sell your car and if not are you able to send me some images of it . I was also wondering what you would like for it.
