Thanks again for all the interest guys. I tend to agree with the general consensus on value, once sorted. Frankly, I was thinking somewhere in the $70-80K range. I'm pretty sure it would take every bit of that amount to build this car today. However, this car needs to be sorted before it can reach that value.

Should be interesting.

Mike,

Thanks again for the further details, yes, that does make perfect sense as to the matting and it's raw condition.

Sorting could be as simple as some new fluids and seals, or could be a little more in depth, such as brake and clutch lines, a complete flushing on the fluids , checking for electrical shorts or breaks, to a full body off chassis tear down. The first question would be a simple one, how long as the car remained dormant, and when was the last time it had a state safety inspection?
