2600 Spider Values-Auction, Market, Real?

[haden]

Hi-looking at re-insuring our 2600 Spider.

Values have been up and all over the place over 2006/7-from recent Coys results to Thieson to ebay + other dealers.

Has any member kept a spreadsheet or followed sales over past couple of years? I need to supply some info on real values to my insurer.

Many thks

Real value depends on condition, which seems to be closely related to the cost/time since restoration.

I don't trust buyer's guides (because the best, original cars change hands "above market value" without ever being recorded) or auction results (because the auction may involve "shill bidders").

About the only thing you can trust that should matter to you and your insurance is: "how much does it cost to buy or bring a car to the condition your car is in." So, the deeper question is "what condition is your car in" and "what cars in comparable conditions have been sold recently." As you probably can imagine, the differentiatior is documentation -- meaning lots of high resolution detail photographs.

thks for this-ours is mid resto-so have taken detail pics and gathered as much info on prices over past 2x years and will submit to insurer and see what they make of it.
Theres only 4 here in NZ and they haven never gone into the public market--independent NZ valuer would then only look at Euro/UK/USA values.
So hopefully will come to a happy arrangment with insurer.
Many thks
