It's very difficult to value these cars. I've seen it all in my five year search and can tell you junk sells fast at 30 grand in some scenarios while honest drivers sometimes sell at 20 grand.
How accurate is Haggerty?

I find "colletorcarmarket.com" pricing to be fairly accurate and very easy to use.
There are some specific models that seem way off, but not many and other anomalies (such as engines not offered, but valued) but as a whole, very close to current market conditions.
It's very similar to what the paper publication "old cars price guide" used to be.

Haggerty is expensive. I had them for the first two years, then a discussion here got me thinking. Shop around, you can do much better. I went with Classic Collectors. Cut Haggerty's rate in half for the same, if not better coverage.

Yes, as Bill Monk stated:
It is a "Herd-mentality" so to speak.
Just watch the "sheeple" at Barrett-Jackson spending $89K on a 69 Resto-Mod Camaro and passing up a 69 "J-code" Hemi Roadrunner at $70K
The issue is, many cars are Falsely inflated, over priced....
The Dealers are in it to make money, period.
Frank and Dana Mecum run a Legit business...but the same is true, many will over bid and Haggerty uses this DATA to quantify their pricing.
My 69 SC Rambler is the #2 Made (First was a prototype)
First 10 not counting the Prototype were set up by H.L Shahan, Shirley "Drag-on Lady" Shahan's husband.
It is all numbers matching
Only 1,512 produced
Perhaps less that 350 accounted for
And Haggerty has my car appraised at $49K
(Yes, I'm a Haggerty customer)

I remember reading about that Charger
If I recall, HE just got it from the shop, correct?

P. S. They now have a policy to let you have the whole car if it gets totaled so you can salvage as much as possible from it. Cost is an extra 65 bucks a year FYI. Prettycool if you ask me. I've beenhappy with Hagerty.
You pay extra to keep what you own?
Insurance doesnt cover the title. It covers the value of the car.

NADA guides isn't too bad. easy to navigate and lots of options to add to your vehicle to find ballpark numbers

Doesn't seem to include engine options or anything else. Big difference in value depending on engine. Did I miss something. Edit: Yes missed engine stuff.
For my car their high is about right for a driver.

Yeah, he just got it back from the shop a couple days before New Years.
