Value and collectability depends on condition and originality,although some people will buy anything with 2 doors just to get one.Total hardtop production numbers will be available somewhere but I doubt that you'll be able to get more specific figures bro

Rust in door pillars is never a good sign.If it's there you can bet it will also be in a lot of other areas you can't see,like the front bulkhead,the plenum and possibly the floor as well.Faded paint probably means a respray and when you start to pull it
