    hmm

    I'd give him a couple hundred bucks. Definatly not 1700 though. Not to offend anybody but it would be getting painted anyway.

    Well, you guys may find this a bit hard to believe, but the current NADA "Blue Book" for classic & collectibles, which I subscribed for, puts the value of a '76 Mav 2 door at the following:
    low value - $1300
    average - $2600
    high - $3775
    These values are with a 302. So maybe he is not being ridiculous after all. The low & high value take into consideration condition and elapsed mileage. Taking this into consideration, a very clean '76 with reasonable or low mileage should be worth what he is asking. Now, I understand that anything is realistically worth only what someone is willing to pay for it, but this should be food for thought. By the way, Dan...the Stallion package adds 10% to the values. Oh, if anyone doubts they existed, there was a '76 Pinto Stallion also. It's in the book. High value is around $3500.

    I would say the car is worth $2700 from what I can see about it. Too bad it is too far away from me. :(

    Pseudo-Stallion???

    I saw this on e-bay too and wondered the same thing. Although I do not own a stallion, from what few pictures I have of them, all the little things add up all too well. The only thing I can't make out on my picture is the colour of the hood trim and headlight trim. This car is definitely chrome, but were the original Stallions black? (Just a thought).

    If I remeber correctly, didn't the Stallions have a different body code, or just grabbers? The right thing to do would be to contact the owner and dig a little deeper--it might be a good price for a low-production car in what appears to be great shape.

    Happy Mavericking
