Hi Tim,
Your thread has been hijacked by another value discussion.
We will keep our eye out. Just about every publicly listed US private sale will land in this forum. We don't post every Ebay Auction or Hemmings listing, just the interesting ones (good or bad).
Rex,
If you want an opinion on the value of your project I will happily provide my amateur observation-based opinion. In my opinion, if driveable - the scenario 2 car is the more, even with moderate unrepaired rust issues. I can point you to about five other bagged and tagged project to evaluate, much like you would with home sales. If you want to get the most out of your investment you need to finish the project IMO. Anyone who has sold cars that include more than 10 bins of items that should be on the car will likely tell you that they took a hit. If you don't want to absorb said hit, you'll have to hold out for the market or find the right buyer. Some of the most beautifully restored cars that have sold as of late came from a seller that took a hit. This includes the 'The Professor' mentioned above.

Since we're on the subject of valuations of coupes, have a shot at this.
