Sure don't see many of them listed, but being rare doesn't necessarily make them valuable. Probably don't need to say it as we're all car nutz, but are you interested in it just because its there?

Have you found comparable listings in past or current Hemmings?

From only what I can see in the pics, it looks fairly complete but needs everything. Planning on doing all the work yourself? If confident in your panel, paint, mechanical, interior workmanship, probably will drop an additional $10k to $15k into it and that's being very resourceful. How correct do you want to make it? A shot in the dark guess in value - thinking if it was a choice resto, might fetch $25 -$30k.

I wouldn't be afraid if it had a seized engine but if the block is cracked, you've got some hunting and praying to find another. Lots of glass is needed. Safety glass can be special cut. Chrome work is going to take some expense. Wheels are no biggie and plenty of sources.

Without trying to insult, you have to lay it on the line and if you want to breath soul back into it, would think $2,000 to $2,500 as it sits. I will add, if that's the original color and scheme, very sharp and would make for an attractive distance club tour ride. Good luck.

edit: is that a Lotus in the background?
