I have a customer that contacted me looking for advice and/or an estimate on restoring a 68 CS. Her husband bought the car before he passed and wanted to restore it to a numbers matching100pt car. Everything he bought for the car is NOS, no repop stuff. They even have the correct date coded 390 to go in it. All the parts are there and she's asking me if it's worth re-assembling or just sell as is. it's a 390/4spd car, 1 of 111 (can't vouch for that at this point). As much as I would like the job, my gut says she should sell as is. I know the car is worth more assembled, but is she likely to see the money she puts in. If the car is worth $X unassembled, and worth $Y assembled, is the difference between X and Y enough to make it worth it? Granted, I understand that depends on what I would charge, but I'm trying to be straight with her and I just don't know that much about CS's. Paint is in good shape so she's not looking to re-paint so that'll cut down on the cost considerably but something you should know to give a valid assessment.
I appreciate your thoughts....thanks
