I mentioned earlier that I plan on selling a handful of my cars, one is a 1971 Satellite Sebring Plus. This car has the original 383 and 727. Engine rebuild with measured 9.0:1 compression, transmission rebuilt with trans-go shift kit. Original A/C car with rebuilt heater box and Vintage Air components under the hood. Painted Curious Yellow (originally Winchester Grey) with white vinyl halo top and interior. New seat covers, headliner, carpet with door cards that were dyed white. One small patch in the rear floor board and one patch on the upper windshield channel. No sheet metal damage beyond door dings. I have the stainless rocker trim pieces but have not put them one (haven't spent the time to clean/polish them). There are two spots on the hood where the paint cracked so that would need to be fixed to make the paint perfect (I may fix this before selling). Car is not perfect but a very nice driver. Body is probably a 9, paint is probably a 7, the interior being a 7.

So, the question is what is this worth? Looking to get a fair price but I don't want to screw anyone anyone.

Without doing any research, I would think that's at least a low-to-mid 20s car with the hood paint fixed.
It could even be a low 30s car to the right person.
The usual homework applies: checking various sites, seeing what's sold, and the prices & condition on them and what hasn't sold.

I agree with Topside, a mid 20s car. But in today's crazy market it could push past 30.

Thanks guys.

Any other opinions on value for this car?

Nice car. $22-$25k. What does the interior need? Where's the radio antenna?

Antenna is visible to the left of the driver's seat in one photo.

Yep, I had the car cover on it so I took the antenna off. up

It has a dash cap and that is cracked whiney
The steering wheel center has worn woodgrain, the wheel is cracked
The rearview mirror is foggy
Door panels are original, but dyed.

I think that's about it for the interior.

Thanks for your thoughts on value.

I do have the parts (wiper motor, battery holddown, etc) but haven't put them on yet. It's only been a 6 or 7 years since I put it back together grin

This model isn’t in my wheelhouse, but I’ll say any car I see the last few years that has decent paint has at least a 30k tag hanging on it. I’m talking all brands and models. All. Don’t know if people always get that, but that’s what is asked. Working ac is pretty big feature.


I want my fair share

That is a very nice car I would be proud to drive.Let's not forget it is a big block car with a/c! I would think $25k would be bottom dollar.Likely start at $30k and sell for $27.5k unless you need to sell quickly.

to be upfront: I am not a Satellite buyer I would always go for an RR/GTX. So I hope I am not biased.

The fact it being a Satellite (even though a Sebring plus) holds it back a little bit IMHO.

I feel a sales price of 22-25k $$ in the end but you could start asking upper 20s and see what happens.

I appreciate your thoughts. The fact that it's not a RR or GTX does take a lot out of the value.

I don't know enough to hazzard a guess at value but going down the highway you'd be hard pressed to tell the difference between a Sebring Plus/RR/GTX. If it's still around when I win the lottery, it will be the start to my Jay Leno type warehouse of cars - each to be driven frequently.

Completely agree.

That being said, I really don’t like gunmetal/Winchester Gray so the new paint choice is a good one for this body style.
