Dave AndersonFjestad's Blue Book of Gun Values, 31st edition 2010 suggests value for a Bearcat with 95% original finish at $400 for early (1958-1963) production. If it has a letter prefix suggested value is $475.
Certainly the Blue Book is not the final word in gun values as ultimately it is what a willing buyer would pay and a willing seller accept. Asking prices online seem to be higher if anything, though there's no guarantee the sellers will get asking price.
