I was going through some old e-mail and found this price guide that someone had originally posted on an older MMB. Im going to convert it to HTML.
1=Excellent. A 95+ show car that is never driven.
2=Fine--well restored (only a close inspections shows this to not be a 1 condition car). Also an EXTREMELY well maintained original showing very minimal wear.
3=Very Good--completely operable original, or older restoration showing wear (also could be a good amateur restoration). Also known as a 20 footer (looks
perfect from 20', but as we get closer, we can see where the paint may be fading, or some wear on the carpet, etc.).
To save typing, I didn't enter the 4-6 condition prices, but suffice it to say, that 4=good (even from 20' away, you can tell the car needs help), 5=restorable (needs
complete restoration, or inoperable, but otherwise a good candidate for restoration), and 6=parts car.

Note--For 1972 only, deduct 20% for six cyl. Mavericks. Comet prices are for 8 cyl, and book didn't give a deduction for six cyl. models.
