What's it worth? Europa

OK so I just introduced myself yesterday. I am still doing my research on this car and I'm not 100% if I should keep it and do the restoration, or sell it and let someone who is more capable.

IF I were to sell it, what would be a fair asking price?

please reference the thread "New to the Forum, just got a 70 Europa" for pictures and details.

Car is worth somewhere between $800 and $2000 depending on the shape of the frame, if you have a good title or registration, etc.

Basically the two things that are worth anything here is the body and the registration and the frame.

Sorry to say...unless you find someone that needs the parts, or wants to do a race car or a engine swap...it really is worthless as a car that could be put back on the road.

Cost of restoring it will be much more than it is worth when it is done.

Thank you Tony, I appreciate the response.
