That's a nice looking car with a great color combo. I can't comment on market value as I don't keep up with these cars. However, 4spd, cowl, neat interior, gauges, apparently original drivetrain, original paperwork. L34 or 35? In my book, it adds up to a worth-your-time-and-effort-to-preserve-this-piece-of-history! Of course it won't be cheap to do this resto correctly. And if you are looking to flip it, it is doubtful you would come out ahead. I would be proud to have such a stunner sitting in my garage.

Good luck!

I believe it also had a endura bumper too.

That color combo is quite rare, how ever some stuff seems to have been changed on it. Rear spoiler should be yellow, might have been added later. Hockeystripe is not like it should be, to wide.

It looks alright as a project to start on.

I would smooth out the rough spots and give it a good cleanup..only fix what you ahve to and drive it. You can always do the frame-off thing down the road. Life is short..drive 'em now!!!

I agree with Wilma - looks like it is all there and would make a great driver as is.

It won't take much to tune-up, clean-up and maybe freshen-up some body panels and interior. Do that and then have fun and drive it! I agree with Tom and the rest of the guys! You don't always need money to have fun!

I was at the Palo Alto CA Concours yesterday and saw a
'69 yellow / yellow houndstooth RS COPO. The owner also
had a 289 "dragon snake" cobra at the show.
