Again, it's highest worth would be 100% original and everything goes down from there. It will never be 100% original no matter how much you want to spend so it's up to you to decide what you want out of it. Just getting it running may be as simple as cleaning/flushing the fuel system and re-habing the brakes for hundreds of $$ to the engine needing work for thousands of $$, no way to know until you get into it, finding out WHY it was parked would be a start. Tranny bad? $5K. Engine bad? $8-$20K. IF you can get it streetable as she is cheap you can take your time to figure out what direction to go in, but even converted to a long nose hot rod, and done well, don't plan on ending up anything but upside down in it and you won't be disappointed.. I would say as a short hood SC update it is worth the least it ever will be.. good time to buy.
