I'm trying to get an idea of what my '70 Sportsroof (with good original drivetrain) would be worth if I did a full out professional factory original restoration. I don't expect to make money, but I would like to get a general unbiased idea of what I could recoup if I need to sell it someday. If you don't have a qualified opinion, can you recommend another reputable source where I might find out?

Honestly its hard to say with the economy bad prices of older cars have dropped way down.I seen things sell for half what they was 5 years ago,If the economy comes back the prices might come back up but only time will tell.If it was me i would get the car in driveable shape and just enjoy it.Only way to make good money on older cars is find a rare one for next to nothing then restore it but that almost never happens anymore.
