I'm really curious, actually, how much a perfect cherry Mk1 would go
for at Barrett Jackson, or perhaps a period correct racing version, or
if a Boyd Coddington or Chip Foose type were to get their hands on
one...
Any wagers?

I remember a guy on Vortex a while back selling a Mk1 for something
wild like 9-10K and said that if it didn't sell he was going to take
it to Barrett Jackson and that he was confident he'd get more than
that there.  (It was a gorgeous original car, IIRC)

My guess would be $18-24K for a cherry 75 or about the same for a
legit racer with history...
