Wow! That's an impressive project. I've got a set of 4 48IDAs that could use that kind of sparkle the next rebuild. Thanks for detailing the process.

I've always liked Don Felder's Heavy Metal (from the movie of the same name): Drive it on up and let's cruise a while Leave your troubles far behind You can hedge your bet on a clean Corvette To get you there right on time Now if you're ready to dive into overdrive Baby, the green lights are on It's like you're running your brain on some high octane Every time she reaches fully blown [Chorus] Won't you take that ride on heavy metal? It's the only way that you can travel down that road Satisfied on heavy metal Baby won't you ride, ride it until it explodes Heavy metal [Verse 2] My oh my, how this lady can fly Once she starts rollin' beneath you You know you just can't lose, the way she moves You wait for her to finally release you It's not a big surprise to feel your temperature rise You've got a touch of redline fever 'Cause there is just one cure that we know for sure You just become a heavy metal believer

My guess is that this would go back to a street machine due to the value component, but then again, it would be up to a potential buyer to decide it's use. j

Greg, I totally agree with you that the actual value is determined by many, many moving parts (pun intended) such as what parts are original and such. This was just an exploratory look at the possibility. If you looked at the picture of the car, it is obvious that I need to dig the damn thing out first to research what you suggest. I have owned this car since 1972 and I was trying to get a "ballpark" feel for how to go about valuing it. Thanks for the thoughts. j

Hi Sajeev, This is a 66 Shelby GT350 that had been an SCCA BP racer. The cage has been removed as has the drivetrain (but that is with the car). The car needs an interior - as in there wasn't one when I got it and the body is actually pretty straight. Sadly it has become more of a storage container. My thoughts on the restoration project come from the high availability and quality of Mustang parts available - but I understand that attempting to raise this to concours would involve taking it to a whole 'nother level - that's why I chose the #2 Value as a base of estimating. j

I was wondering what your thoughts were on how to come up with a value for a project car. It's fine for those who have vehicles that are all together, but what about those of us with "special cases". What would seem logical would be to take the Hagerty Valuation tool's "Current Value" - and probably use the #2 Excellent value and deduct what would be an estimated cost of a reasonably competent restoration (understanding that that would be tied to the model involved). So, if one has an old race-car chassis and the Tool says that this particular model in #2 shape is worth $196,000. And a typical restoration for this model runs about $120,000 (understanding that there are many, many variables), would that make pricing the chassis at $76,000 seem reasonable? More importantly, do you think it would sell using that calculus? Jim

C2 Corvettes ? Even though I'm generally a Ford guy, I have always had an appreciation for the symmetry and styling of the C2's - particularly the headlamp solution.

I guess I'm confused as to why the author felt that the Hertz variant beat out the other 66 GT350's, since it was essentially a subset of that make/model. I wouldn't contest it's inclusion in this list, but only because it was a 66 Shelby GT350.
