Allow me to add some real world experience.

Just last week we sold this car:  =
https://www.ranteer.com/davescars/tr3a/

For $6500.  Engine ran nicely.  Other than that it was a total =
restoration project.  Had overdrive and a factory hardtop.  Was actually =
in pretty good shape overall.

Imho that was more than it was worth, except the very definition of what =
something is worth is =E2=80=9Cwhat someone is willing to pay for =
it=E2=80=9D

Last year or so a British car mechanic friend of mine sold a TR3a, with =
overdrive, for $32,000.  It came from the factory Silverstone gray, and =
was stunning in every way.

3 years ago I sold this car:  https://www.ranteer.com/davescars/tr3/

For $37,500.  I sold it to a guy who is a big North Carolina fan, and =
this car is the school color (it is also a fairly rare Triumph TR2/3 =
color, Salvador Blue).  It has overdrive, a Triumph factory radio, and =
pretty unique period rear corner guards.

The next year it won first in class at The Gathering, a North Carolina =
car show.

There are lots of people asking lots of prices for cars, everything from =
rust buckets to trailor queens.  Imho they are all over the place
