Restore or sell 52 Silver Wraith by Hooper
Discussion
I'm the new owner of a 52 Silver Wraith by Hooper. It's has the all aluminum body. It's fairly rough condition so I'm wondering if it's worth restoring. It needs a head gasket but runs otherwise. It is all original, never even been repainted. Everything is there and working, but it's a bit rough; worn interior, needs refinishing inside and out. No rust.
I read that there were only 8 Hooper bodied Silver Wraiths made. I don't know if this is correct, but if so, it would seem to be valuable. I don't want to drop $60K or so into restoring this car and end up with a value of $35K to $40K. The value of this model seems to vary greatly. Does anyone know what the value of this car would be either restored or as is? Does anyone have any input as to the rarity and/or value of Hooper bodied Silver Wraiths?
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!
