i think it depends on if you want the car to be ncrs or if you want
the car to be NCRS the not correct form.
if its for a daily driver and you can do the brakes and maintenance that it needs to get it back to road ready then $3500 and a $1500 maaco/sheib paint job you will have a vette that looks decent and can tool around in.
if you want pristine and ncrs then yeah its gonna cost you a bunch

IF that car truely only has 37K miles on it (which I doubt), all I can say is this is a prime example of how not to treat a car.
The owners might have noticed the car was rotting away if they had driven it once in a while.
