..and if you are asking what price range to expect for a parts car,
there was a '69 sold recently in my neighborhood north of Dayton,
Ohio, for $350.  that was more or less complete, but very rusty and
generally dilapidated.  If I had a TR-6, I would have jumped on
that one, at that price.  This is about as cheap as I would expect
to find a complete car these days.

Many more 2-cent data points available, inquire.
