    Great pick up!! That’s another car I inherited from my father. Don’t care nearly as much about that one.

    Another option is sell it on bring a trailer, it could bring $12,000 to $20,000 as it sits.
    Thanks for this. Are these cars really not worth much? My car runs, but overheats; so it wouldn't take much to get into drivable condition (I think). So as beautiful as these cars are, they are really not "collectibles"; more like " sentimentals," right? A drivable version in great condition can't go for $50K?
