Where Can You Find Collector Car Prices?

If you are looking for collector car prices, you most likely won't find them in the traditional places. The traditional places to look for car prices include the NADA price guide and Kelley Blue Book. The NADA price guide is published by the National Automobile Dealers Association and is a small book with a bright gold cover. The Kelley Blue Book, as its name suggests, sports a blue cover and is very similar to the NADA guide although the values listed inside are often higher. While these two books are used all the time by consumers and dealerships, you often cannot use them to price collector cars because they only date back to 1979.

One of the best tools you can use when looking for the price of a collectible car is the Internet. The Internet is home to websites like The Gold Book which is a great place to look up the value of antique and collectible automobiles. The site is certainly simple enough to use. You simply input the make, model and year and will be presented with values that include Fair quality, Good quality, Excellent quality and Show quality. If you are a collector you may be looking for a Show quality auto. Or perhaps you are a collector who likes the restoration process, in this case you might search for an auto in fair or good condition.

The site also has other resources related to buying and selling older cars. You will learn how the company determines their values, which is a combination of prices from private sales and auctions. There is a FAQ section and a collectible car condition guide also. Of course, this site isn't the only place to find prices on collectible cars. You may want to strike out on your own and do your own online research using the search engine of your choice. You may even browse your local newspaper ads for prices of antique cars.

Another way to figure out collector car prices is to pay attention to the auction circuit. In addition to car auctions in your area you might also want to do some searching on Ebay Motors. Here you will find all kinds of autos for sale, including collectible ones. Using their Advanced Search tools, you can look up completed auctions to see the final selling price of a particular car. Often combining your own research with information you find in guides like the Gold Book can give you the best idea of a vehicle's worth.
