Thread 'Guidance on pricing '74 CS'

Looking for some guidance on how I should price this 74 3.0CS. The car runs and drives, but definitely requires some restoration work on the interior and there is some rust on the driver door, small dent in driver front fender. Has 16" Alpina wells, but not an Alpina model. Overall the paint is not bad, but some front fenders look to have been repainted in the past based on receipts from PO and hood is dull with scratches.

Watch for vapor lock when you swap out your fuel pump. I ended up putting back my old one. I bought a new stock fuel pump - Pierburg I think and it failed after the car was warmed up.

Same issue on our 2002 and replaced the new pump with the old one.
