I would start around $7000 and work from there. I don't know what you have invested but it appears pretty clean. How bad is the blemish on the hood?

The hood needs paint, its stained single stage. Previous owner said it was caused by fiberglass insulation but idk....it wont buff out, i tried. The car is pretty clean. I just wanted to see (from an 3rd party) if id be able to get my money out of it.

Thanks for the response...
