Is $180k to $200k about average for a fully restored KR convertible, or is that a little light in price?

It was a SAAC gold car twenty years ago.

I was actually thinking thats a little high. Are you seeing them sell for more?

Pete,  I honestly don't know.  That's why I asked.  Pretty sharp looking car though, would look amazing with hubcaps.

I would encourage anyone considering this car to have it inspected.

The gold award is not an endorsement of a car's authenticity, but rather how correct the car appears based on the standard of historical accuracy. That standard changes as we move forward.

In this case, its a twenty year old standard. I am not going to disect the car in open forum.

I think a quality KR convertible is in the $150-175k range. Thats just my observation

I've have quite a few KR Convertibles...

A four speed with a AC would be on the top of the price list
I would think a concourse/judged convertible would be around $200K and maybe a bit more depending on options.

Just my opinion....

Thanks for the info.  How much more of a premium would you expect for a rare color KR convertible (like a WT6066 for instance)?

I had a Acapulco Blue/4 speed with AC that I sold for north of $225K...

I think one of the 57 AC/4 Speeds restored would be $250-300K...(6066)
But the same car that's a red automatic would be much less...

Collectors are more likely to pay top dollar to get the right piece in their collection.
I use to own a factory Paxton 66 GT 350 and it was one of the eleven.  However, it was the automatic test car that made it to 2-3 magazines in 1966.
A collector really wanted it since he had a carryover and a 4 speed Hertz.

In another case a collector had a 69 R Code Mach 1 and the same car/color as a coupe.
I had the convertible to finish off his collection.
He called me twice a week before I gave up and sold it..

Like many collector cars it comes down to options and who wants it...
Maybe not so much to production figures..

Just my .02.....

+1 IMHO its not first about rarity/production figures but demand. There are allot of rare cars that aren't worth doing in most cases.

At the same time if the car is in high demand then the production figures can add to the value.

Seems like every car you look at, its either a POS and not worth messing with, or you look at something like this, either pay an "expert" to inspect and still find out its a POS....lol...its a small world...

"This is a private listing and your identity will not be disclosed to anyone except the seller."

Makes you wonder who is bidding on it.  ;)

One man's "hoarding" is another's "collecting" :)

Lot easier if your car is the only  one-of-one   ::)

Guess many of us could be described as hoarders in that way

What would be the reason behind the BIN of $202,000?
Why not just a nice even $200K?

Hoarding is passion until one makes it onto that TV show...

Some people like to be different.  We used to have a Used Car Dealer here that priced all of his Cars with the last two digits being 88 ($5,288, $10,088, $1,988, etc)  He said it was because of how the Tax Scale was.
