the restored original CSL ... i presume you mean a true CSL. not to parse words too much, but restored original is in conflict with each other. assuming that you mean true CSL, that has been restored ... do you mean restored to original condition or do you want a true CSL that has been restored, but has some tasteful modifications?
for instance, our forum friend
@Keshav has a gorgeous tundra CSL with a better than original engine ... its in Germany, and its priced to match its beautiful condition. the current range of restored CSL range from about 250k to 500k, depending on whether is a street pack car, a true lightweight, a carb CSL or a BAT 1 or BAT 2.
looking forward to seeing where you go. i can tell you that building a slight CS restomod is a lot of fun. even if the restomod portions are mosty performance based, engine, suspension, transmission, interior, wheels, leaving the body as beautiful as it is ... perhaps picking the colors that you really want. this option might take a few years to find the car and do the work. this approach might cost you 100k to 175k depending on what you start with and what your decisions are. even though you want to take a car down to bare metal ... buy the most rust-free body that you can find. Since you are in Toronto, there are 2 excellent restoration specialists somewhat close to you - the Werk Shop in Illinois and VSR in New Hampshire ... VSR is an excellent recommendation for CSL restoration as well as restomod work.
