And if it doesn't? Patience is king. You say you *need* to sell it. When I
need to sell something, or don't want to dick around with tire kickers, I price it at wholesale and walk away.
Many cars take 2-3 mos., even longer to attract the right buyer. Flippers know this and are prepared to hold while marketing the item. You need to decide which situation you are in.
As far as actual examples go, I sold my 914 non streetable race car, engine seized, for .30 on the dollar. It was gone in hours to a flipper. He made it barely street legal, installed a six (good move), yet it took him a year to sell it. Two listings on eBay as the final act did the job. Not counting a lot of labor, he made out. But, I'll wager he's done better deals.
My conclusion is that the more mods, the more difficult the sell and that all extras (mods) get thrown in for free. Lastly, I'll give you the example of my present car: '71 911S; tired, but on it's way back; no longer has its sport seats and is far from the original color. Nothing that has been done is irreversible, it will all unbolt. Not painted yet, but ready. Your guess? I had it informally *appraised* at maybe 12-15K. This, while very nice original '71 S's go for 20's and 30's. Pristine time warps can reach the 50's.
Early cars don't directly compare with yours, but you get my point, I hope.
