    I would highly recommend that you have it transported to a shop where they can properly evaluate it mechanically and at least take care of the things that will maximize the selling price. While it's there and on a rack you can get better pics of the underside. If you're willing to represent it yourself you'll probably net the most dough... but with many, many headaches. If you pitch the car to a legit broker it may cost you 5-10% but it will save your head from hurting. Early 911 shoppers are a serious PITA to deal with. Jus sayin.

    As far as value? If I were a betting man I would say it's worth more than the best offer you've received here.

    Again, good luck.
    Very good advice here.

    Verm:

    I’ll go out on a limb here...in my opinion your car will sell, as is where is, for close to (but not exceeding) $100k, based on the information available here. Someone can then spend $150k restoring it. Yes, they’ll be underwater initially but that’s almost always the case with a full-blown restoration. The new owner can then enjoy the car as the market value inevitably catches up to the cost (this may take a few years). And they’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that the car was properly restored and that they saved the car for future generations.

    That’s my unprofessional opinion.

    Good luck,
