Not to be a downer again, but that car will have a limited market. I think you have kids in college, ask them. Would they want to buy that car for 10k in a couple of years, or a sorted 90's Honda?

The market is our age, and getting smaller every year. Maybe a bigger market in CA?

I went down this path with my Alfa. Loved the car. Even replaced damaged wiring with factory color coded wire. Fixed a ton of stuff the normal person would have never noticed. I loved the process, very satisfactory.

Sold it for a huge loss, which was fine, I was never going to recoup my time and money. I knew that, and was fine. The heartbreaker was when I got the photo from the new owner three months after I sold it, nose of the car planted in a pole.

He was older than me, and was looking to scratch that itch.

That said, I would love to drive that car but I would hate to own it.
