To my knowledge this is one of the very few Stanley cars left in completely original condition. A consideration of what a person wants in a Stanley will determine their decision on what to pay for a given car. I have owned several Stanley cars over the years and I know there are very few that are as the factory shipped them. If that is not a consideration, there are cars available that have been built up as Stanley cars, but many are not true to the detail of original examples. Because of this, I feel that an original wooden body car has the value of a restored car. This is becoming more and more the case, at least here in the U.S., with all types of collector cars. Based on these considerations, I am asking $120,000.<br \/>\nThere have been several similar models of Stanley cars sold here in the U.S. for higher prices in recent times, and I feel this is a fair price for this car at the current time.<br \/>\nIf you have interest or know anyone who does, I appreciate the reference.<br \/>\n<\/em><br \/>\nFor further information, Please Contact<br \/>\nMike May,<br \/>\nMichigan,<br \/>\nU.S.A.<br \/>\nEnquiries by e-mail to mkmay@alldial.net <\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll find this ad about half way down  <a href=\"http:\/\/www.steamcar.net\/forsale.html\" title=\"Steam Car Club's For Offer Page\">this forsale page<\/a> at Steamcar.net.<\/p>\n<p>So what is the real value of a drivable, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.arts-attic.com\/automobiles\/70challenger\/70challenger.htm\" title=\"Unrestored \">unrestored<\/a> 1970 Dodge Challenger 440 6-Pack R\/T convertible?
