If this is right, I'm getting my funds together and buying a Twin Cam!

FORD ESCORT TWIN CAM
2D SEDAN, 1970, 1.6 lt, 4 SP MANUAL

View valuation details Estimated Valuations:
$4,770 - $5,830 private sale
$4,300 - $5,300 trade in
$7,500 - $9,000 dealer price

XY GT HO's don't even get a price on that site[88]

I think the value is what someone is willing to spend on one, I've been offered $7000 for my RS.

Like I said to a well known Automotive Enthusiast Insurance Agency who wanted to insure my RS for book value (after I had to explain to him what an RS2000 was...)

"You have got to be joking mate. I thought you guys were supposed to know about cars. Really, when was the last time you bought a classic car at Redbook value?"

I want to know just how many twin cams have been used as trade ins in the last 20 years.

These market values work in our favour when we get charged Vehicle Registration Duty. $3 for every $100 of market value.

I only paid $60. It would've been a lot more if it was based on the purchase price.

As is my Red RS for 16K after sending in some pics as was the purchase price!

no offense taken whooligan, not everyone in the office knows about all cars, it relly comes down to who u get.

i no longer work there anymore anyway,

My escort is insured with Shannons for an agreed value (purchase price plus modifications) and I'm happy with the policy. I need to ring them back as some stage to add some more mods on... 1600 Kent with DCOE weber etc.
