The obvious things that are missing from this car are the steering wheel and the alloy wheels. Does anyone know what these five items would cost someone? I am guessing a nice set of originals (if you could find them, would be in the $6,000 to $8,000 range; the steering wheel and related pieces would be in the maybe $1,200 range?).
I am just guessing on the above numbers. My point is, the obvious things that are missing will cost someone some serious dough; and then there's rust repair (however minor), body, paint, interior, brake rebuild, engine rebuild, transaxle rebuild, you get the idea. To get this car to a spectacular place (which I do believe is possible) will cost some serious money -- especially if one had to hire it all done. Seems it would be cheaper to buy the best one you could find for $100k.
Any thoughts? How far off base am I?
