It has also better be close to cosmetically flawless, like a concours car, as well as drivable if you realistically expect to get the NADA High Retail Value of $29,700 for it.

The reality is, no matter how "drivable" or mechanically solid a car is, if it's in mediocre to poor cosmetic shape, and needs restoration, it simply not going to bring top dollar. Dan W.
