200K would get authentic restoration down to numbered parts as available. But then who would pay 250K for it?

30K would make it street-legal and then you're only in for 100K, and you might get offers for a buck-twenty to a buck-thirty for someone who wants to take it to the 200K level. Turn-and-burn.

$30k wouldn’t get you much more than than piles of Bondo and plenty of spray paint cans from the local Ace Hardware store. Anything you do for that 30 would have to be undone by the next guy.

But it WOULD be fun to get it running.

Jay Leno would certainly pay for a primo restoration down to the numbered parts. That’s the sort of restoration he features all the time on “Jay Leno’s Garage.”

Our neighbor has restorations that are at the 99.7% original level. Remarkable workmanship on his collection.
