Also if this helps, in the spirit of full disclosure, here are mine, pricing, issues etc...

1) 69 - bought about 7y ago for $8500



Looks good but paint is incorrect, both doors full of bondo, rear lid too, fromt suspension pan was replaced "artfully" but it's solid so it'll stay. Interior door panels are wrong, mirror on pas door is wrong, PO cut an RS vent in the front bumper (sigh) which I cleverly hid with that plate. I also redid the carbs and the engine + tranny mounts + correct bar, retrofitted a period fuel pump, correct steering wheel.... Worth today in good running condition - possibly 15K ? I've got doors, will look for a lid, and have it repainted correctly along with a new interior... Ouch, but it'll be nice...

2) 68 - very original inside



Sold to me last year long distance, as a nice car... Except not really... It needed a front pan and battery support etc... $3000 in metal work. Another $1000 in paint matching fender edges and cleaning up some paint boo-boos around the front trunk, Misaligned engine lid chipped the paint, will have to spend $500 on that too... Paid $19000 + $1800 shipping + tax + the above bills... Guess who's unsellable now ? ;-)

So like I said, buy the nicest you can afford, the less rust the better... Call me crazy but I'd gladly pay $20-25K for a totally original unmolested well running zero rust coupé.
