Ignorant College Student--Need Advice!

The fact that its a factory V8 hard top GT make it worth more than a /6. With that said, I would not go for any "performance upgrades" and just get it running and driving. That will make it worth a bunch more. Think rebuild carb, tune up, fuel pump, brakes and tires. This can all be done for little $$$$ and not a lot of skill. If its a safe driver even with a bit of rust in quarters, its still worth $3500 in most areas of the US. I would just go through the basics to get it on the road then at least somebody can take it for a test drive if they are buying. If it ran and drove, it would be worth at least $3500-$4500 in Oregon.

Does anybody know why some 64's have back up lamps in rear deck lid and some dont? It has 273, convex grill and bucket seats so it has to be 64....my 64 has no lights in deck lid but its not a GT.
