Howdy folks

obviously this car touches all the nostalgia nerve endings for me being a HJ Deauville Blue factory Sandman. It has gone from $42k to $40 to now $35k

Mine was a factory 253 auto, a/c p/s gts dash, guards wheel etc with full black interior and blue bubble windows (double tailgate one) Bought 83/4 ish sold 88

Unlikely i'll pursue it as I still live 300m from the ocean in high humidity central Qld,ie rust city!! but curious what knowledgeable, non nostalgic fans reckon this actual car as you see it is worth and approx (I know lol) how much $$ would take to make it a nice streeter with most work (panel paint, mechanical) farmed out.

And if you're still up for hypotheticals......how did it get that dent on the Drivers side rear....most original gets a time machine and a 12 month subscription to CV&T like they used to do
