I purchased vehicle yesterday from  new neighbor, great condition.
Looked up bluebook value and nothing earlier than 1988 posted for
value price,. How do I know besides going with price I payed to know
how much to resell it. In concern that it may take money in keeping it
running in the next year . I dont know Im niave when it comes to this
but I went on intuition and good background of the car.great
condition  today! shape that  What is the reasonable cost in owning i
the little cutie. ?I would like to get a year out of it  but no one

Goto NADAGUIDES, look for classic cars.  low $3350,  avg5275, high
7425  retail

Keep in mind, even the low is for a car that is either restored or
well maintained, presentable, paint in good condition, fully
functional, etc.

If it's a running rust bucket, then it's anybody's guess.   You could
also search for past sales on Ebay.

As for cost of running it, with a car that age, too many variables. We
don't know the mileage, original or new engine, etc.  The engines
generally go 250K-300K miles.   Routine maintenance is inexpensive.
