Start it on eBay at $0.99 with a reserve of what you think is fair. Example, $6000? Maybe more, maybe less, and see if there is interest. And go from there

Depends if you want it to sell quick, or you want it to stay around for years. There are so many classic cars that are overpriced and don't move. Are you able to post some more pics up?

I've sold many cars on eBay (about 10) and I've never had much success using a reserve.
Some people are reluctant to bid on something with a reserve, particularly if the seller does not let you know what the reserve is. I know I dont like bidding on a car with a reserve. For example, I had listed a car a couple of times with a reserve at $6000 and each time it didnt make the reserve. Feeling I may have had it over priced, relisted it, again at $0.99, and sold it for $6,550. Thats just my advice. Sure there is a risk that it sells for less than you had hoped, but there are ways to prevent that from happening. |

I think 4k is a little low, but maybe a good starting point. Too bad I'm not very financial at the moment otherwise I'd make an offer.

try it on carsales mate. the market will meet you.
I had a LTD that I wanted around $7000 for, mint car, just a beauty. But I sold it on Carsales for $5500 and people were fighting over it. It was around a fair price. I had some knockers saying it was worth nothing "pushing clay uphill etc etc" but it sold. |

This is not the place for selling cars and there is an ad in "Cars for sale".
