Thanks for your opinions guys, I don't expect to get $20,000 for the roller, but I'm also not going to give it away. There are a lot of valuable parts, S and non S, on the car, the non S parts can be sold to offset the cost of buying original parts. I talked to the guy that I bought it from 5 years ago, he figures the original engine is in Switzerland, he also gave me the name of the person he bought it from. I found his phone number, so I will be giving him a call tomorrow. So, $10-15,000 as it sits as a roller, what if I find the original engine? You also have to consider that these cars are only going up in value, if your not interested in flipping it then the value is there. Nobody would be buying this car to restore and sell to make a profit, anyone with any business sense knows theres no money in that, so why even bring it up
Now, charging by the hour to restore somebody else's car, thats a different story. I would like to believe that the person buying my car is an enthusiast and would want to bring it back to it's original glory, for their own satisfaction. Thats what I would do if I had the time. Not everyone out there is a flipper.
