I know we should always take these things with a huge grain of salt....but the trend sure seems to be 'up'!

Wow!  Those are some pretty significant jumps!  Thanks for sharing.

And, yes - they most CERTAINLY should be taken with a grain of salt.

Hemmings Valuations is another option.

In either case they are tools in helping determine the "market" based on reported private sales and public auctions. The condition scores, originality, provenance all have a bearing on the valuations which in the end are there to help you make an informed decision.

Here's the report for a regular 1966 GT350 (non-Hertz). And notice the Value Adjustment note: "+35% for 1965 carry-over cars up to S/N 252." Pretty soon we'll be talking about big money. Ha, ha!

If this trend could continue, a late entry owner could have his car restored to a high level and not be too far underwater.

Interesting that they have the non- Hertz cars valued higher but no notation or "adjustment" for non-Hertz automatic cars. 

Just an observation

As per usual, they don't even seem to understand what an XR7-G Cougar is

Agreed. 

For the longest time, non-Hertz cars were actually valued higher by Hagerty.  And, I understand that it's a SIGNIFICANT difference in price between an original automatic and manual GT350H.

I think the H non H thing is cyclical. Phase of the moon etc.
Last couple 2-3 decades.
Ask any of the "grey hairs."

Hemmings Valuations is another option.

I find the problem with Hemmings is it is based on "asking price" history (versus Hagerty based on actual "selling price" history). Also Hemmings does not filter out clones/tributes which skews the average price. For example, if you input the '65 GT350 you will see the lowest asking price of $42K (over the last 3 years). Obviously that is not a real '65 Shelby. That makes the numbers almost meaningless IMHO.

For 1966 GT350 it looks like their assumption is 4-spd, so there should be an adjustment downward for an automatic.

For 1966 GT350H it looks like their assumption is automatic, so there should be an adjustment upward for a 4-spd.

With the proper adjustments I'd think a Hertz 4-spd would be worth more than a non-Hertz 4-spd because of their rarity. Just my opinion.

Now, who has some pull with Hagerty so we can get this corrected?

'68 GT350 has -20% for an automatic, big hit.

I do believe there has to be some sort of historically kept "average" and right or wrong, the Hagerty valuation model seems to be what we have.  As we all can agree, at the end of the day, a car is only worth what a person is willing to pay.  One thing for sure, it will be interesting to watch in the coming years.
