Thanks, Donald. It's nice to have someone out there who has such a high opinion of these car's value. I don't think my car is worth anything like $15,000, but the market will speak to us in 4 more days. Maybe if it had been painted up and detailed the way the 64 was, but I'm a fan of leaving them original, even if a little worn looking. As for the 64, I'm pretty sure that seller is a dealer, and I'll refrain from any more comments beyond the opinion that touting one of these cars as an investment ("$100,000 some day soon!") is not a healthy contribution to the hobby. These cars are not investments, they are expensive toys, to enjoy for as long as you feel able, and then to pass along to someone else who will preserve them. We don't really own them, we are just temporary caretakers.
