Re: Anybody?? Help with Value of 85 Capri ASC Conv.

Maybe you can go to www.ascmclaren.com and check out the cars for
sale there. Maybe that will give you an idea on what its worth.

Also look for completed items on ebay...you may get an idea on what
people were willing to bid for these cars. However, remember ebay is
not always the best place for determining a collector car's value.

Personally, I have little idea on the value of these convertibles.
