Best advice I can offer. Post it on Ebay and let the market decide.

As a tastefully done non-Tii I'd put in the mid-teens.

[Psymon]

You have a beautiful car!

[mcaden]

I saw your car at The Vintage, and I thought it was done to a high standard. I am sorry you have to sell it, since it would be hard to recover everything you put into the build. My recollection is that it had only been driven a few hundred miles since the full restoration was complete. Your paint was perfect, your wheels were drawing admire/envy, and I loved your front seats. GLWS.

Thanks to all for the advice and compliments. The trip to Vintage was one of the first drives since it was put back together. It probably has less than 300 miles in total since completion. I enjoyed the restoration process so much that I would like to do another one to a lower standard that I will be more prone to drive everyday. Friends and family are convinced I will not be able to part with it and they may be right. Definitely a labor of love.

Instead of selling and restoring one to 'lesser' standard. Enjoy and drive this one. No one else will treat it like you do.

Wow nice car, as the forum suggests hard to peg a price on such a beauty.

All I can relate is what I have experienced in my recent try to sell a very nice # 2 condition 1972 Golf Yellow in So Cal.

Received a 17K offer but refused due to wanting all my org. literature & 70's ads and having roughly 25k in it. Probably dumb on my part but I don't have immediate need to sell.

Your overall condition is nicer albeit custom, I do really like it.

I would suggest 20K

Mine is pretty std.

Doubt if this helps you.

I personally think ebay is a low ballers world .

[Harv]

Here is what I would do.

Keep it.

Drive it.

Enjoy it.

Make a plan for further mods.

Get trunk painted the correct color.

Have the under hood painted the right color the following year.

Very nice car.

John

[jgerock]

I really enjoyed looking at your car at the Vintage. The paint job and interior are amazing.

I think even Doug liked it!

[2double02]

Jim,

Thanks for posting the great pics. I think yours are better than mine. I regret not spending more time talking with folks at Vintage but we had our 2-year old there and we sepnt a lot of time running around with her.
