I'm considering moving on from my beloved NC project because I have limited space out here and I'm finally in a financial situation where I can consider something closer to dream car status. I'm going into this knowing that I will probably regret selling it in the future if I do sell it, because it's (IMO) the best NC color, it is bulletproof reliable, easy to drive on track, and also a pretty great street car.

The only problems with this car are cosmetic. The headlights are a bit hazy from UV exposure, I have given them a quick polish which helped but really the bumper should be removed and they should be fully refinished/coated. It has a couple minor dings and dents. The clear coat is pitting on the hood, and there is some minor clear coat fade on the hood, fenders, and doors that is noticeable in certain lighting. A really good detail with a heavy cut compound might take care of it all.
I have $15k into the hardtop and mods/upgrades alone not even including the value of the car, so that is what I am asking and I think that is pretty fair.
I'm doing this kind of reluctantly so for now here are a couple pics I already have, I intend to take more thorough pics soon.
