Purchased 12 years ago, $2,500 - not running, no hell hole rust but jack points and rear rockers rusted out and driver floor pan was swiss cheese, and a bad Maco paint job over the original and rust under the sail panel.
original numbers matching motor and trans with about 50k miles. original trashed interior worn out by the 29Palms Ca desert . would not sell it for less than $50k, and its insured for more than that with full agreed value based on their appraisal.

- first week i pulled the tank and went thru the fuel system and replaced all the vac and fuel lines, cleaned tank, new pump etc, new MPS, and the car fired right up. Drove it for a few years before having to do all the brakes , suspension etc , then drove a few years , saved enough to get the rust cut out and replaced, the 2 more years and the outside got stripped and fully repainted, and so... about $25k into it, its all new and beautiful, and runs like a top. I still have not had to rebuild the motor, just the transmission and everything else. yes all the stuff on the motor and the harness wiring etc all new all seals new, etc etc etc. but values have finally caught up and exceeded now what ive put into it cost wise. I guess since other than the pain and body work i did everything else myself including the interior so lots of sweat equity. Would have cost another $25k to pay someone else do to all of that for me. Cant say never, but i cant see any reason in the next 25 years why i would sell it either. I get more looks and complements and conversation with this car than i do the Maserati. At the AX last month i had a crowd around the car and spend over an hour visiting with people about it, had everything from "whats that" from some young guys to "are you really going to drive that here"?
lots of fun for sure.
