You may see $50K on a good day on BAT. However, I believe you are more likely in the $40-45k range sold.
If you have the original parts and can make it stock it would add a few k more.
How much would it cost you to replace? Insure it for that. State Farm has always treated me well in this area.

Good point. I completely forgot to mention that. I have everything I've taken off the car like the original Fuchs, original tail, original seats, interior bits, muffler, etc. If I were going to sell the car, I would make all that stuff available as part of the deal. There isn't anything that I've done to the car that couldn't be easily undone and made original.
In a real sale, I would be asking more money beyond the value of the car itself because the potential buyer would be getting a lot more than just the car. But that scenario doesn't really help in determining the replacement value of the vehicle.
The only reason I'm fussing over this is it is bringing me to a point where it looks like I need to change insurers. Current insurer is at the top end of their range and it seems as though they are forcing my hand -- your lowest number is at their high end.
As far as what it would cost to replace,I don't add up receipts for a reason.
I couldn't begin to estimate the number of hours I have working on it myself.
I think what would really help me feel better about a number is if I could see a similar car and knew what it sold for.
