Realistic value range for '73 RS Clone?

Hi all,

This is the first time I have posted in the forums - long time lurker, but I never had anything worthwhile to add, so I kept silent.

I have the opportunity to buy an RS Clone built from a '73 T. It is a quality build, with excellent details, but it is set up as a track car with 3.2 short stroke, 915 with limited slip, full cage and suspension upgrades. Does have correct 7" and 8" x 15"s and well executed RS interior and exterior. Overall, I'd rate this build as an 8.5 to 9.0 out of 10.

If I buy it, I'd have to "de-track" it to some extent; i.e. retrofitting heat exchangers and blower, modifying the cage, adding sport seats instead of racing seats and softening the suspension to a degree.

I'm very interested in this car, but I'm not sure what its worth. The build is a few years old, but only about 6,000 miles on the Supertec performance 3.2. A few years ago, this might have been a $35K to $40k car, but I don't have a good feel for today's prices.

Any help or opinions are truly appreciated!
