1. It would depend on how much they paid me to haul it away.

2. Same here
not to rain on anyone's parade, but I have no interest in old cars.

4. The guy down the street.
Seriously, he did a 64 Corvair and a 1970 'Cuda and they are FABSHINY.
And I'd trust him because (obvs) I know where he lives. informatively, Bright |

5. Without a doubt....
....and if I had the funds to have this little gem restored, I would take it to Joe Martin and his Iron Resurrection crew. I would probably opt for a restomod with all the perks and power of a modern muscle car rather than original restoration. How interested am I in this subject? I have every show in your poll plus Iron Resurrection in my One Pass with Suddenlink.

6. A reputable shop with a track record of high quality work
Not those manufactured shops with the TV "reality" shows

10. Looks like a 1967
Missing a lot of trim, and some of what is there isn’t spec. It would be a fun hobby project, but probably not worth paying the pros to go at it.

11. It looks ripe for an LS swap
Add a tube sub-frame, back half it, and tub out the rear tires then it might pass for a bracket racer.

12. You did look at the frame, correct?
If it's got a bad frame, I'd part it out. If the frame is good, I'd restore it myself.
