Hi, it really depends on color, condition, and variation. For example, if the beach bomb had the thin body without the slots on the side for the surf boards, it could be worth $15,000+ in mint condition. A near mint pink one sold for $72,000. But you most likely have the version where the surfboards go on the sides. It is worth up to $1,000 or so in mint condition, depending on color. More common colors like blue, may only be worth $250-350 in mint condition. If the paint has heavy wear it may only be worth around $50, and if the glass is cracked as well, maybe $15-20.

The Volkswagen, I assume you mean "custom bug" and not sand crab, could be worth $40-200+ in mint condition, depending on color. If it is the variation without the sunroof, it is worth a lot more, $500-800... unless it is the orange enamel one that was actually made about 1975 and again in 1985, that is only worth up to $60 each in mint condition. Again, damage would greatly devalue the cars, and poor condition is only worth $3-5 each.

Python is only worth about $20-50 in mint condition.. there may be an exception, but I don't know what if any colors are rare on it. $2-3 for a junker.

The firebird... I assume you mean "custom firebird" could be worth $100-200 in mint condition, again depending on color, with common ones worth as little as $50-60. If the sides have the outline for a door, it could be worth a lot more. If it has wear and is missing the hood it could be worth as little as $1-3...

I guess what I am saying, is that it is impossible to appraise without detailed pictures. Any defect greatly reduces the value compared to mint condition!
