* Condition: A concours-quality, fully restored Boss 302 will command a significantly higher price than a car needing restoration. Rust, damage, and originality all play a huge role.
* Mileage: Lower mileage cars are generally more valuable.
* Options: Specific options and factory equipment can increase or decrease value.
* Documentation: Original documentation like the Marti Report (showing factory build specifications) greatly increases value.
* Market conditions: The collector car market fluctuates, influencing prices.
While you can find some average price estimates online from various sources, these are often broad ranges and may not accurately reflect the true value of a specific vehicle. To get a realistic appraisal, you should consult:
* Classic car auction results: Websites like Bring a Trailer (BaT) and Mecum Auctions show recent sale prices of Boss 302s. This is the best indicator of current market value.
* Appraisal services: Professional classic car appraisal services can provide a detailed valuation based on a thorough inspection of the vehicle.
Expect to see prices ranging from hundreds of thousands of dollars for a well-maintained example to potentially over a million dollars for an exceptionally rare and pristine car. Don't rely on general averages; focus on specific comparable sales to get a better sense of value.
