That is a nice ride, but I wouldn't think about having a shop restore it, if your idea idea is selling it for more, if I were you. The vast majority of old cars will cost more to restore than one can recoup in a sale.

Exceptions to this would be cars like a numbers matching big block '67 Vette or a mid '60s Ford with a factory dual quad 427 and a 4 speed, rare and highly sought after. Also, doing the resto work yourself, if you have the time and knowledge, can make the numbers work, but then you might really fall in love with the finished project and not want to sell it anyway.. :)

BTW, I have a subscription to Old Cars Price Guide and while they get some right, they're quite a bit off on some others, IMO..
