When discussions like this pop up, with either old cars or old bikes, I am usually the one making the point about "what if it really IS perfect? wouldn't that be worth something..."
But jeebus, the sticker on the windshield is $8300.00 It would have to be perfect to even consider it, but then you could get a NICE 16v for 10K...
So, you end up paying a lot of $$ for a 2.3, not particularly collectible, but too nice to drive daily (lest you degrade the condition) show car.
I don't know who would want it.
