EDIT
You're probably right 
I've seen that car in person and it's very nice. Not $32k nice but really well done

Based on the big button glove box, the high mount side markers and bullet indicators, I'd bet it's a 63. |

I'm not a fan of the IRS conversion nor the Type 1 engine, but it is a nice quality custom notch.

NOS is neat but since used ones are what... $25? And with no shortage of them out there either. |
And it's not even a red needle one.

I'm surprised this car hasn't sold...I'd like to buy it, but I'd have to part with my 54. Decisions, anyone else have data on the car?

I can't talk to price for such a one-off care, but I've seen this car a couple of times at the Meet-in-the-Middle event (like earlier this month), and it is remarkably well done. Other than the hood bulge and radiator cutout, it is quite stock looking., and cleanly done. |

I'm not a Type 1 fan but, if the oval is nice, I wouldn't trade for a custom car like this one. |

My 54 is nice, double the value...which is why I wouldn't trade it. Would need to sell it and then use money to buy this.
It is tough without seeing this car in person, but it appears to be done well. It was also done in a way that can be easily modified by the next Owner to "make it theirs" so to speak (trim, bumpers, rims). |

Once you take the wheels off, there ain't shit on that car worth more than a couple hundred in total... |

I do.
I see at least $5950 in crash damage and rust repair,
and that much again (or more) in body work and paint,
and there's $$$$ re-trimming the interior, replacing missing/broken parts
And thousands more rebuilding the drivetrain and mechanicals...  |

Not in Volume, but in recent ads, there seems to be more 356 parts for sale than type 3.
