Here on the East coast a rust free tin top goes for $2000+ (non-running even).

Sorry to hear you're selling. The world needs more Tornado Red Carats rolling around. If the timing was better, I'd be buying.

I'd pay $2000 even if it was rusty just to get that interior. $6500 is certainly ambitious.
