Anybody have a decent online source for semi-classic car prices? I'm going to look at a local '54 Buick Century, and I'd like to get an idea of the market, even though I realize that's a pretty tough thing to do these days.

I don't know what condition the car that you are looking at is in, but there is a '55 Buick project on the Columbus CL for 2K.

Hemming's or the NADA Classic Guide.

Oh, well look at that: NADA does have the guide online. I thought it was a subscription-only service. Thanks, Michael.

I buy/sell/broker vintage cars for a living and I have to say that most of the old car price guides that I've seen are far, far removed from reality.

The closest to reality I've seen is the Sports Car Market's price guide www.sportscarmarket.com. Don't let the name fool you, they cover everything, not just sports cars.

Cars That Matter might cover that one, too.

There has to be a couple classic Buick boards out there - find them, check out their classified sections and then ask some questions.

Hmm. This is a good point. From my days at the shop, I can say that NADA's used motorcycle prices were pretty far off, too.
