Sounds like a wonderful collector car. Nice! Those prices are all over the place and you need to start looking at car auction sites around the country. If truly MINT and you have paperwork to document that history and mileage then you are looking at top dollar. Don't mislead yourself into condition though. Everyone thinks their car is a #1 but real collectors will know what it truly is. A #1 car is restored (usually 'frame off'), showroom condition and a trailer queen. A #2 is an excellent restored car with NO issues or a basically perfect original car. Could that be yours? Most cars will fall into the #3 category which is basically a nice old car. Prices are extremely different in the categories. Old Cars Weekly has auction results every week in their paper. I have never checked them out on-line but maybe they have the results posted there as well. I'm sure an internet search would also give you 'real world' numbers that you are interested in. If you just want a 'ballpark answer' then this is the way to go. Are you going to keep the car for yourself or sell??

I suppose to a true collector it would be worth more, but to the every day public, or person who wants a nice and fun car to drive it's not really anything special. The 301s were such a pooch, that's why they turbocharged them. Even then, they can't get out of their own way lol

It's special enough since there were only 2000 made.These sites might be able to give you an answer.
