Only 7,000 miles? Wow. What's it been doing all this time? Pictures?

I've got an Old Cars Price Guide which I'll check when I get home, but these don't have a ton of value regardless of condition as the market for them is very small. If it's in really nice shape, it might be worth $3000-$5000, depending. But you've got to find someone who wants one. That may take some doing. ebay is one suggestion as you do get instant national exposure. Craigslist is another. For all of its warts, it also gets you wide exposure quickly as many people search craigslist nationwide. Plus, it's free. I bought one of my two old Oldsmobiles from a craigslist ad.

In top condition, which is described as "better than showroom new," the Old Cars Price Guide lists the value of one of these at just under $5,000. In #2 condition ("showroom"), it's around $3,500. It's got only 7,000 miles, but a car can still deteriorate by just sitting if not maintained. Mold on the seats and carpets. Surface rust. Rotted rubber. Having only 7,000 miles will certainly make it attractive, but we need to see the whole package.

I live in north Chicago Suburbs and would be interested in looking at it if your serious about selling it.

Without pics it will be hard to determine even a ball park figure for price.
