Don't think there is any way that car could be "done" for $100K including the purchase price unless the new owner does quite a lot of work himself and/or has some really talented and generous friends. Correct original parts alone will be very pricey for that car. For example, a correct MN engine, dated trans and BE rear all re-done/rebuilt would likely be a minimum of $25K. 837 alt, 499 dist, 4346 carb, another $3-$4K, and on and on. I think parts only would run at least $50K for this car. With a pro #1 resto, I bet it will be closer to $150K done or more. Nonetheless, cool car and a reasonable price that someone could restore over time. Most people GREATLY under estimate how much it costs to properly restore a car especially if one of the top pro shops is handling the work and you want to use the correct parts. Quality costs a lot.
