Luke,
Your correct they do sell for that from time to time. I know that car and the owner and I can tell you that car has been for sale for over a year and that the history and documentation on that car was well known. Again the car speaks for itself and this one is very nice.
The fact that a very nice well documented car gets a preimum price when sold to the right buyer does not make the market, any more than a total rust bucket matching numbers S sold by an ill-informed seller for $2000 makes the market.
The car in question is not at either end of the market.
If your point is some cars sell for a premium and all should be given the same premium, that will not happen.
Each car will stand on its own merits and IMHO this one has some issues.
The hard to find part can always be sold at a premium, but you can not add up the value of rare parts and then say this is the price of the car. If you pull the sport seats and replace with comfort seats the price does not drop $5,000.
Many know that you very often only get back $.50 on the $ when finished with a restoration, so you better be doing it for yourself because it is a lousy investment.
