Recently completed the restoration and trying to decide on a value to place on the car should I decide to sell it.
I have a pretty good sense on “good” condition value range for this car but not really seeing much in terms of the Tilt Away option when I look at sells history.
In any case, this 67 has a very nice, tight, and fully functional Tilt Away (believe was a actual delivered option and not an owner addition after the fact but currently waiting on a Marti report to confirm) system and I’m wondering if this adds any value to the car. I suspect not with the Cougars but thought I’d ask anyway.
Hi Jim. I personally wouldn’t think the tilt would add that much to the value - maybe a few thousand. If you can post a variety of pictures including exterior, interior, engine, trunk, undercarriage - then we can give a value approximation.
I personally value my 67 GT 4 speed car at around $30-35k, although it has not been restored and is instead all original paint and interior (far from perfect), and extremely complete and original.
As to the original posters question, individual options typically don’t add value outside of engine and performance-related. They do add value to a parts car, however, as the columns are a popular addition. I need to start clearing out some of mine I’ve collected.
I have 7 69 columns currently. Do you want a restored one? I’m having Tony Augustine (the primary tilt restoration guru) take on the unrestored ones. Most of these will be tilt only since people don’t typically add the tilt-away function as that’s more involved.
