JP: I've been tracking '69 and '70 models for awhile. I know the '70 is different, but the prices seem about the same. I've seen 3 sell in the Pacific NW in the past year for about $10K. All were originial, unrestored and driveable. None had any real rust issues, but could use paint and interior work.

That said, I just bought a ONE OWNER '69T for $2,000....It has had the front pan already replaced, but has rust in the rear seat foot area and into the passenger side longitital.....(I know it's a lot of work, but I bought in cheap). 2nd gear is out. The engine is a very strong '71 2.2. The paint is very poor and has already been changed to black from a puke yellow.

Like you, I plan to do most of my own work and take my time. I think yours would be worth at least $15K with no rust and good paint. Keep the running gear with the car for max value. These cars are in high demand in Europe and you can bail out of the project at any time...Good luck and keep us posted.
