Registered Owner: XXX YYY-XXXX XXX yyyyyyyyy ZZZZZZZ, Alberta General Comments: General Motors copied Ford’s lead and marketed the El Camino, which was part car with comfortable appointments and part truck with an open truck bed. Examples today are rare and make unique collector vehicles. Appraisal Summary: This truck has undergone some exterior reconditioning but remains very original. The engine runs fine. The vehicle does show some interior and exterior aging and wear but is overall in above average # 2 condition. Appraised ( Fair Market ) Value : $ 16,900.00_ Cdn., Date of inspection and effective date of the appraisal __May 3, 2010_ Report Number _12345_ Signed: Note: The appraised value may vary over time, especially if modifications are made to the vehicle. It is recommended that periodic updates to the appraised value be made to ensure that the estimated value noted above is an accurate reflection of current value. The appraised replacement value will probably differ from market value. Due diligence has been applied to make the assessment as accurate as possible using information presented to me at the time of the inspection. Value is determined by the use of comparables and value guides, review of readily available sale / auction results in North America and based on my experience in local sales and auctions of similar vehicles. Unless otherwise stated the value shown is fair market value for insurance purposes to be applied on collector vehicle policies having a 19A (appraised value) endorsement. The owner should verify that the policy includes this endorsement in the contract.

Comments: The interior of this truck has been partially refinished. The dash pad is however original and there are several cracks in the black vinyl pad. The engine may not be original but a period replacement. It is essentially in the stock condition with no significant modifications aside from some chrome valve covers and air breather. The floor panels and undercarriage have had some prior repair with probably previous rust cut out and patches welded in. There is some severe rust in some spots. The paint is original and shows some fading with age. There are numerous paint chips and rust bubbles showing in the lower door panels. References used to determine value. Reference guides for a good condition car indicate that the average selling price for this model and of this vintage is on average about $17,500.00 The Collector Car Market Review, Hagerty CTM Guide, NADA Guide, Old Car Guide were consulted to determine the market value of this particular truck model and vintage. In addition, three comparable cars (the same model and similar condition were found with values in the range of $ 14,000 – $19,000 dollars. For the above reasons the appraised Market Value for insurance purposes is $ 16,900.00 This value does not include applicable sales taxes, fees or shipping charges, that the individual insurance company may pay (depending on the contract) once a replacement similar vehicle has been purchased in the event of a loss.

Sample Typical Appraisal This valueDecoding the VIN number and Body Tag Numbers: The VIN number 134808BXXXXXX may be decoded as follows 1 = Chevrolet Division of General Motors 34 = Chevrolet El Camino body series V8 80 = Two Door pickup sedan 8 = 1968 Model Year B = Baltimore MD assembly plant code XXXXXX = Sequential Production Number 1968 introduced a longer El Camino, based on the Chevelle station wagon / 4-door sedan wheelbase. A new, high performance Super Sport 396 version was launched this year. 1969 models were very similar, but 1970 saw the availability of a new big block which actually displaced 402 cubic inches, (although all emblems read 396). Chevrolet's largest and most-powerful engine of the time was also put into a select few El Caminos. The LS6 454 engine, rated at 450 hp. 1969 also marked the first time that the Chevrolet 350 V-8 was used in an El Camino. The 1971 model saw reduced power and performance, along with the rest of Chevrolet's line, as lower-octane unleaded fuel was mandated, and emissions controls began to be felt. Single headlights replaced double for 1971, and the grille came now to a point. Little changed but still lower power outputs were marketed for 1972. A rebadged El Camino called the GMC Sprint debuted in 1971. Note that many factors are considered to determine replacement value. Some details may not be presented in this report but a copy of the relevant information is kept in my files and is available on request. The fair market value may differ from the invoiced cost of the vehicle, especially if it has been extensively modified or restored.

The odometer reading of 42,193 is probably an indication that the gauge has turned over once and the actual mileage is 142,193.

Condition Rating The 1 to 5 grading scale for collector vehicles was developed by Krause Publications and has been in use in the industry for some time. These number coded categories help to maintain consistency of descriptions and assessments. 1 = Excellent, 2 = Very Good, 3 = Good, 4 = Fair, 5 = Restorable

1) Excellent: Restored to current professional standards of quality in every area; or original with all components operating and appearing as new. This vehicle is true show car quality and is never driven and transported in closed trailer. Flaws, if any, are few, minor and readily repaired.

2) Very Good: Well Restored; or combination of superior restoration and excellent original condition; or extremely well maintained original showing minimal wear. This vehicle would only be driven infrequently in good weather. Also called above average condition.

3) Good: Completely operable original or older restoration showing some wear or amateur workmanship. Also a combination of well done restoration and good operable components; or partly restored car with valuable NOS parts. Vehicle would likely be driven frequently for enjoyment. Also called Average condition.

4) Fair: Addressable vehicle needing no or only minor work to be functional; or a deteriorated restoration; or a very poor amateur restoration. All components may need restoration to be Excellent or above average, but mostly usable in “as is” condition.

5) Restorable: Needs complete restoration of body chassis and interior. Not drivable, but is not weathered, wrecked or stripped to the point of being useful only for parts salvage.

Rating for Rust or Corrosion Deterioration:

Serious: Frame and sub frame or floor pans show surface rust and perforation to the extent that some structural weakening has occurred. Body shows perforations and holes around prone areas or floor pans.

Moderate: Frame and sub frame or floor pans show extensive surface rust but no perforation or structural weakness. There may be a few small holes in prone areas such as lower door panels and around wheel wells.

Light: Frame and sub frame show light surface rust in some areas. Body is intact with no holes but possibly some bubbling of the paint in prone areas.

No Rust: There is no rust anywhere on frame floor panels or body panels.

Valuation Definitions

Fair Market Value: The highest price, expressed in terms of money, that this vehicle will bring in an open and unrestricted market between a buyer and seller who are informed, knowledgeable, and prudent and who are acting independently of each other, neither being under any compulsion to buy or sell. Collector Car Insurance policies are based on fair market value and it becomes the “Agreed Value” between the insurer and insured for an insurance contract with a 19A endorsement for collector vehicles and motorcycles. “Replacement Value” may be the same as fair market value but is usually higher if modifications or custom effects have been made to the vehicle. These changes may or may not always be reflected in market values, but these same costs would be required to return any replacement vehicle to the same condition or state as the original vehicle. It usually used in property value insurance and not for collector vehicles.
