I have sold cars on Ebay, Craigslist, and a consignment dealer.

Ebay Pro's:
huge audience including international
Auction format or buy it now.
Tool to help you ship the car

Ebay Con's:
It's not cheap but they cap it. You can take a $1000 deposit and then do an electronic transfer
Sometimes a person will hire an appraiser, but they can be a pain to deal with
Lots of times where the buyer can back out and unpaid buyers

Craigslist Pro's:
It's free
It's easy to list
Usually first place people look

Craigslist Con's:
Pain in the ass tire kickers.
People will low ball you looking to flip your car
People make plans and never show up
You get a ton of calls from the idiots trying to help you sell your car

Consignment Pro's:
It's easy, you drop it off and they sell it
You don't have to deal with the title transfer
They pay for the advertising

Consignment Con's:
It can be expensive
You have no control how they are driving your car. In fact they dented mine and weren't going to tell me
It takes a long time usually to sell your car this way because they ask high market dollar


This is my opinion only. I would put it up on Ebay. Put it at a 10 day auction and put your reserve. Then at the same time I would list it on Craigslist but be harsh in the add. No help needed selling etc. don't put your phone number. Email then you can send your number. NEVER meet at your house. Always meet them at the store around the corner thing. Lots of stories out there from Craigslist some.dude will come out and act interested. Get the lay of your garage and doors, and then come back and steal it.

Be realistic with your price. Honestly Ebay sets a lot of the market price. Go on EBay first. Search for 67 chevelles. Then on the left hand side of the screen you can select sold listings only. Scroll through those. This will help you know if you will hit your target or if you are realistic.

there is always the big auctions like Meecum too.  Though it's costly to get there.  They charge 10% selling fee.  But with your pro-touring type of car you may do well.

Cheers
