That would be a tough call IMO. I would love to see pictures given I have not been fortunate enough to ever see a 10/10 Thoroughbred 66 GT K code 4 speed fastback.

The only '66 K code fastback (non-GT) Thoroughbred level car I know of is the black one owned by Bob Perkins.


Usually cars done to that level would have some type of judging history to validate the level of restoration.


As Bob G, I would be interested in seeing pics of the car.

Didn't think this was a hard question to ask just was after an estimate on value of such car restored to a thoroughbred level wasn't comparing it with any other car out there.

Here is a 65 that gets you close as to what kind of money top levels of restored cars are getting.


Your comment about not comparing it to other cars out there is odd.
The only way you can get close to the value of any car is to see how much a comparable example gets at auction or private sale.

This example is not a Thoroughbred. It has issues (fuel pump at a quick glance).
To strip out concours parts and replace them with Thoroughbred parts would cost a lot.

It's not a hard question, it's just that there aren't many samples to give an accurate number.  Over 10 years ago I had heard that B. Perkins turned down $300k for his Thoroughbred level 1966 K fastback (non-GT).  Does that mean the car is worth $300k??  Maybe, maybe not.


Even a concours trailer level car is not a clear cut case as there are factors in how well the restoration was done, how good of a car it was to start with, did it have a lot of sheet metal repair, were NOS parts or repro used?


Wish there was a better answer, but the best we can do is give a wide range, which really doesn't help much.

Its value is what two or more people at the time are willing to pay.
