What matters to value
Chassis identity, engine, transmission, factory colors, hardtop, books, tools, service records, rust and prior body repairs all help establish the market position.
Before restoring a Pagoda
Body and trim restoration can be expensive. Preserve original components and understand the car's current value before committing to work solely for a sale.
