Insurance appraisers always appraise high.
I think it is a decent price considering it is a low miles car and looks good for the age
The owner probably has a bunch of Mustang or Chevy friends that have cars worth more that are drivingthe price as well
And I agree Poly's rock!

When you appraise a car for the insurance company you want it valued at replacement cost, i.e. how many dollars it would take to get another car as similar to the first car as is possible to find back in your driveway, licensed, etc.etc. `Normal' auto insurance policies that provide coverage on the car itself normally value the car on the basis of what's called "actual cash value". In normal terms, that's what you'd get for the car as a trade-in, or as a distressed merchandise sale (gotta sell it by Friday night).

There's another 66 Plymouth style padded dash on a Canadian car as seen on the Polara mentioned in another thread.

These "appraisals" are for insurance purposes only (at least in Canada) and have absolutely nothing to do with market value. Problem is a lot of sellers ignore it when the appraiser tells them this or try to cash in on the general misconception by the car buying public that it is go$pel and based on the latest BJ auction results.
They are actually to determine how much an insurance company would have to spend to return a car to it's former condition should it be damaged. They are required by most "agreed upon value" type insurers here.
They are based in part on how hard it is to obtain new/used parts ie fenders and doors etc. C-bodies score pretty big numbers because there is no aftermarket support and chances are if you needed a usable rear quarter, door, front clip etc., for that car, it would have to be shipped in from AZ or some other far away dry place for $$$.
As for the price I'll say it again. If that car is in 29,000 mile looks like a 3 yr old car condition, you won't buy a project car and make it that pretty for less. Is a 66 SF with a poly "worth" $16K as in could you resell it for that? Not on a bet, but if your bucket list car is a SF and you want it in needs nothing, ready to enjoy condition, $16k on that car, is a good place to start haggling.

It looks very nice, I think he should have took more pictures though. I'm sure if it was my car as a seller I would think it would be worth that kind of money with the low mileage and condition of it. As mentioned above you couldn't restore a car for that kind of money and it's only original once and it appears to be.
