Hello, my name is Pattie. My father passed away years ago and my mom recently gave me 1986. Ford Taurus.
The car runs good and has p/s, p/b and cruise control. It also has am/fm radio and cassette player.
This is a one owner vehicle. The vehicle is now registered to me and has a clear title. Odometer reads 3000+
miles, so am estimating just over 103,000miles Interior in good condition but needs paint job.
When title was placed in my name I had it smogged and a it's registered as a non-operative vehicle

Two things: 1) Can you advise as to its value. 2) Might anyone in club be interested in buying.

Its value is in the fact that it is one of the oldest running Tauri in existence because 1986 is the first model year.

It runs well and I forgot to mention it has working AC

I spotted a clean '86 or '87 a couple summers ago on the freeway that some young kid was driving and he had "Collector" plates on it...lol!

As we don't have emissions testing here in MN, I'm not exactly sure what being registered as a "non-operative vehicle" means. I assume it failed and cannot be driven on public roadways?

No... it passed smog and is registered to me. Non Op means I am not using it, the licsence fees are drastically reduced and insurance is $5 per month.
