2021 Market Review - Chevrolet 1961-1980
If you neglect a vehicle for long enough and send most for scrap, the survivors become quite valuable. 1960s Chevs once were common and cost virtually nothing, but decent survivors today hit $20,000+ and the same car fully restored can easily exceed $50,000. That’s just for a sedan.
Hunt down an Impala two-door and a good example can reach $70,000, with convertibles considerably more. One excellent 1960s soft-top when auctioned made $86,000.
Move into the 1970s and the big Chevs will all be private imports and not as expensive. However, the mid-size Chevelles and compact Novas – especially Super Sport coupes – are scarce and nudging $80,000.
