Jeff - don't set your price before you start. You may be surprised at how
much you end up putting into it. I have seen concours level cars go for
15-20,000; but also for the 10-12 range depending on the "need" to sell and
the "urge" to buy.
But in my opinion to set a value at 12k upfront will be a hindrance as you
go through the rebuild process. If your costs are running higher than
anticipated, you may begin to cut corners keeping the 12k in mind. But
because you "make do" on something, the 12k may not be realistic anymore.
Hope this helps.

Subject: A Few TR3A Restoration Questions (response)
Thanks to all of you who responded to my questions
concerning the differences
between the '58 and '60 TR3As. You told me exactly what I
needed to know. I've
already had 3 people express interest in buying the '60 when
the restoration is
complete, and I haven't even started yet. What would you
estimate that a fully
originally restored (frame-off) '60 TR3A with disk wheels,
no overdrive, soft
top only, and 40,000 original miles is worth? $12,000?
