I emailed Super Scout Specialists in Ohio with a picture of it, sent them their small fee, and I was emailed and mailed an appraisal that put the Scout right around $400. I paid taxes on the $400 and all was right.

For the Mustang I was told to bring it downtown so they could inspect it on the street--literally. Told me if it was high mileage they could knock off some $$$. When I told them the odometer restes to zero at 100,000, they then wanted to know didn't I have all my receipts for maintenance---for a 50 year old car that is older than I am.
