Your thought on $120K may be a bit optimistic but remember there are only a few tangerine 67S's left out there. You're currently in one of the best shops for body/paint, and TLG is great at what they do as well.

You can always test the waters once the car get's on it's feet after TLG. Certainly Esposito and TLG know of buyers, and you can put the car on the Early S to see what happens. Note that though a lot of work remains, a lot of the heavy lifting on the body/paint has also been done.

I think the most would be realized on this project if you finish it up aka the Canepa car. My suggestion would be to source a correct 67S block and then build it up to a single plug or twin plug 2.5 short stroke and I would do it with a very notable engine builder and I would suggest Jeff Gamroth. I think you'll end up with a car you won't want to sell. I've been there and done that and I wish I had that car back....

Contact me directly and I'll give you my thoughts... and I can also give you my build sheet for the motor from Gamroth. I know of another car that was built in a similar fashion and sold for "all the money".
