The reserve is low, compared to how much time and money i have in it, which is about $14,000.00. It's under ten. It hasn't been driven more than 500 miles since completion, once you start driving restored vehicles, they slowly start making thier way back to the state in which you found them. It has been a show car, since I have restored it, my daughter and I love to take it to car shows, and it has won several first place trophies. Thanks for the compliment!!!
