Not really - your best guess?

I remember your wagon from your first postings. It is a family heirloom.

Priceless to you, but well over 25 Gs to me.

I'd think high twenties given today's market.  Though it's not clear to me whether that will fade at all as the covid restrictions are lifted.

I'd advise thinking long and hard about whether you actually want to sell it, though.  Once it's gone it's gone, and you will have no control where it goes or what happens to it after that.  If you ever change your mind and wish you had it back the chances are slim you'd ever have the chance to get it again, and you will definitely pay more money for it than you will get now, if you were even able to buy it back.

Yeah, just speaking from experience having regretted letting a couple of my favourite cars go a long time ago, and they were not super-rare cars like a Beaumont wagon. I got a little bored of them and tired of paying for storage, so I let them go for reasonably cheap prices thinking I'd just buy better ones next time around... but that didn't happen and now they are selling for something like 20X what I sold them for... if you can actually find one that's not on the other side of the country (or in another country).  Oh well, live and learn.

If I were in your place I'd do everything in my power to keep it, even if it meant just parking it in the garage 'till your enthusiasm comes back (if that's the reason you are thinking of selling).  I would never sell anything with such sentimental value now, unless I was absolutely sure I could let it go and never want it back.

Best of luck to you in whatever you decide.

right now covid restrictions, especially ones prohibiting crossing the border to view/inspect/pick up are going to cause a gut punch.

As an example, I watched a BAT auction that ended this past monday for a beautiful 1979 Firebird that was here in Calgary;
Original base model 301/4bbl-4spd;
Done bone stock, except for:
1) a Formula hood installed in place of the base/Esprit flat hood
2) 1972 Pontiac 400/4bbl installed in place of the 301/4bbl
3) year correct ralley gauges installed in place of the original dummy gauges
It still appeared 100% bone stock to the untrained eye - the thing was absolutley mint, with everything either new, or brand new looking (including, but not limited to fresh paint in factory colour, and replacement factory stripe).

The car bit up to $14,250 - Purchase price aside (it was, err, still is, a one-family car) there's no way the work put into that car wasn't more than the final bid price;
I'd wager that if it was state-side, it would have bid much higher - a couple potential buyers inquired about how to arrange to pick it up with border closures.

That's a beautiful wagon, and pretty much hits the nail on the head of what I was keeping an eye out for before we bought our truck (we have a two car garage, and currently have six vehicles, if you get my drift).
I'm sure many fond family memories were had in that car... if we move to a larger place (not in the works at the moment) I'd love to find something like that to take the family on road trips in.

Get a professional appraisal. I would guess 40-45k for insurance purposes, but realistically to sell privately 30-35k.

 X2 appraiser will give you replacement cost (even though far off) to me and think most of the public 30-35 is a realistic price. Hard to find and come by...  If you don't get your price.....don't sell!!!

Need way more info. Options, condition, restored or survivor, last paint, was it scuff and spray or bare metal etc.

As for $$$, EVERYONE wants that big price. Well I have looked this year a a few really nice '57 4 door wagons, both stock and modified. Usually in the mid 20's. Friend did by a '56 Nomad with FACTORY AC under 50 and it is clean and nice car too.

Went through this on another site with a CANADAIN Gorries BLACK PANTHER Camaro. Owner passed and kept saying it had to be a $250K car for over 20 yrs. Car sold for just over $60K. Or the people thought the BULLET Mustang was going to go way over what it did. Out of 80+ guys who voted who are into these high $$$ cars, only 33 were UNDER 4 Million. 8 of these so-called high end collctors were saying over 10 million and the car sold for 3.4 million.

But I could see in the 20's but it is a wagon, there hit and miss, and also need to know more for option? Like 396 4 sp with AC, the $$$ would go UP.
