Hi Ive been looking all over the net to find info on how much my 323 Gt maybe worth but cannot find anything! Its been sitting in my barn for 5 years and i think its about time i sell it. But ive no idea what its even worth. Ill get more pics but apart from running lumpy, which i think is being caused by blocked jets in one of the twin carbs it wouldnt take alot to be motable. its been lightly restored about 10 years ago but may need a few patches of weld now but nothing major. Cheers James  |

Well I reckon its worth 6 Mars bars and a piggy back ride to the pub. So, do we have a deal and no one else need get involved! Love these old boxy 80s tat, however its only worth what someone's prepared to pay. Best bet is eBay with no reserve and enjoy the adventure of finding out what its worth.

From where you are there is probably a natural progression to finding out what it is worth
Wash it, get it moving, fix the running issue, get an MOT. Maybe fix the tatty parts if possible
Put it on ebay with a reserve above your expectations, say £3000 and see where it goes
Then if need be repeat ebay with a realistic knowledge of what you want
Good luck

Ah the old mars bar offer LOL, he got offerd more on pistonheads  which is why he was ent here  i'd go with xbo11ox on this got to be £400 as is (with a wash maybe) BUT the question everyone will be asking is "if it only needs a few bits for an MOT why not just MOT it yourself" which is why the large differance between without MOT and with  |

Went and had a look around it today, it needs a bit of welding to rear of sills and a little patch on one inner rear arch. apart from that i was pleasantly surprised. Its mint compared to the cortina next to it though! Gonna sleep on it for a few weeks and decide what to do with it.... only reason i was considering selling as it is is because ive got so much other stuff to sell it just be easier to get rid of it all how it is. Thanks for your input though guys.

Advertise on ebay as a 'Barn Find' and just watch the bids come in.

I'm an owner of one of these. unfortunatley they just arent worth what they should be especially considering there is little left. (estimated less than 5 in uk) but I'm sure there are a few more like this hidden behind doors which dvla have since forgotten. i paid 500 for mine which looked pretty mint (was a tiny bit of rust lurking) was running fine and was taxed and mot'd. there are a few people, like myself that love these cars and are willing to pay more than normal for them, but I'm afraid ebay wont get you much for it based on lack of mot etc. few people want them as they don't know what they are... parts arent easy to come by and the engine isnt the strongest or most powerfull. i think 75/80bhp. bloody great cars though they give you that special 80's feel and you will have to look over your shoulder at it everytime you get out. |

I'm half tempted to sell the cortina i was going to do up and have as a play car and just keep this! Ive just got too many cars and want to be left with just 1 as a project! |
