Colt SP1 1966 value

[Bro4000]

Happy Friday to all. I’m trying to determine the value of this Colt. It’s the early version with 3 prong flash hider. Any information and valuation would be greatly appreciated. It’s around 95-98%. Not sure if it ever been fired. Thinking about selling. Thanks in advance

For some reason my SN is not showing up on that Colt data base

It’s finicky sometimes. Use SP1, then a space, then your serial number

1966. Third year of production. 2,649 produced that year ending in ser #SP08250. if everything is "correct" and in the condition indicated in your photos, $2,500 is easily realized.

That worked. Thank you.
I was using SP1 then sn and it showed 1963. The act SN is SP then sn and it shows 1966. Interesting

Thank you Sir. So do you feel $2500 is a fair price for both parties sold locally? Unfortunately I do not have the original box but I do have some original colt 20 round mags

Not a definitive source, but about as good as any I've seen for estimating production dates. Your's has early features.
