Exclamation Price for a 1972 Escort?

Hi! I'm new to these forums and i came here to ask the opinion of Ford and particularly Escort enthusiasts- I want to sell my 1972 Escort, but the fact that i have been told that it may be a collectible, teamed with a couple of minor faults and my inexperience with selling cars, i have no idea what price to put on it. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Details are as follows-

-1972 Mk1 Ford Escort
-2L Engine
-T-Bar Automatic
-Engine was fully re-built and re-conditioned 2 years ago
-All new door seals
-Brand new battery
-New floors
-Paint job is in great condition
-No rust
-Registered for approx 6 months
-Minor faults- small fixable ding just near headlight, and odometer has not worked for a while.


Once again, any help, thoughts, and opinions are welcomed! Thanks!

Welcome to the Forums zootalowno!

The Escort is definitely a collectible car these days, particularly the Mk1. A 2L engine & auto was not a factory combo, but shouldn't deter buyers. I'm not to sure about pricing but depending on how much work is needed perhaps $5k as a starting point and go from there?
