I see a acid bath, an alkaline bath, and then a rust-inhibitor bath in this cars future.

Asking price little high? Have to do a lot on this car! For the price.

[Coralsnake]

I think that is just an estimate. Its an auction

What does the bible say about the paxton ?
White case is right for that era , but who put it on?

There were no factory 1968 GT350s with Paxtons.

This car, per the last registry, has been under the SAAC radar for quite some time.

On Copart the Est. Retail Value: Is what the insurance paid off to it's customer.

[Coralsnake]

Well, I think I would have kept it for that price 

[shelbymann1970]

Well if the estimated retail price is 85K according to copart I'd think the car was worth much much more BEFORE the flood.

That is what they Estimated the Cars Value BEBORE the Damage happened.

[Coralsnake]

Its what they paid out to the owner as stated above. Nothing to do with its actual value. I dont think you can buy a convertible under $100,000

On the upside-maybe just remove the seats, carpet etc. (something you'd probably want to do for cleaning anyway)-let it dry out over the winter while you pick away at the engine-put it back together and enjoy it next Spring.  It looks original enough to just leave alone imo.  But, admittedly, the pics. and description are lacking which is why you take a trip or pay someone to inspect.  I could not locate the auction date?

[nctrucks]

No auction date yet.  Copart takes pictures when the car comes to the lot. Now we have to wait for all the proper ownership paper work to get processed for Copart to sell.  If the owner decides he want to retain the salvage before he settle his claim with his insurance. It will disappear from auction site. Insurance company's have free storage at Copart as the claims are being processed.
