“Value changes radically depending on how original the car is. That model was going for $100k over decade ago. I had a ‘59 vette so I kept up with kind of stuff.”
A professionlly restored numbers matching 290 fuelie with 48k miles is listed at $140k. Nothing even close to $200k.
Operative word: Restored. Worth less than an original in very good shape.
I just asked for the highest sale of a ‘59 Vette:
USD$825,000
Highest Sale Value USD$825,000
