Note: This guide is not meant to be absolute. It is only intended as a guide. Additionally, CONDITION IS VERY SUBJECTIVE & some bodies had manufacturers defects, making a truly 'Mint' body unlikely. 'VALUES' ON MANY VEHICLES HAVE GONE UP & DOWN (& sometimes both) OVER THE PAST 50 YEARS & WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO. A TRUE VALUE can only be determined by a Willing Seller & an Able Buyer! :)
