up to $2650 and 34 bids already. be interesting to see where it end on Sat. this one has higher milage than the typical high bidder, so likely it is not pristean, just a nice example. if it goes over $10,000, than there may indeed be a market for doing ground up restorations on these cars and make a bit of money on them.

looks like the price as stalled out, though often the last six minutes is when all the action occurs. I have found that in the Puget Sound area, a decent one, clean and in good mechanical condition (a good daily driver, but not restored), I can get about $3500. for them. so that seems about the price range they go for on ebay. A few years back one with only like 16,000 original miles sold for over $10k. on ebay. that of course is not the same as one rebuilt from the ground up. I figure if there was a market for a completely rebuilt T4wd, new interior, fresh engine, upgraded brakes, new tires, etc, could go for about $10,000, there might be money to be made. but it would cost you about $8000 and a lot of work to find out if that was true. And even if you can sell the first one, not sure how many others you could sell.
It is an interesting intellectual exercise, but I doubt there is much of an after market for remanufactured cars.
