I reckon, absolute minimum $10k...Even TC shells are fetch good money these days, so anywhere from $10k for a rusty, to high 20's for a minter. Personally, I'd prefer a RS2000, but Twinks are what everyone seems to want. You'd probably want to avoid the track, now that they are pulling good numbers, though.

I reckon post it on ebay. There is enough interest in this model that you are assured of getting a good auction going. The more standard it is the better.

just sold one ,originality is the key to high values , they are hard to fake properly and the engine is the key to it all at the momen tbeing worth as much as the car, with these things its a bit like how long is a piece of string,a genuine air cleaner sold on ebay for 2025 dollars I know as I bid 2000 and lost, I then sold my car shortly after ,good luck
