It's a lovely car Jamie, one of PMD's nicest bodys imop. It definately worth bringing back up to par, a shame you cant keep it, but it'll make someone proud one day.
 The slow response here is probably because most here like me know nothing about the USA 65 Gp's.

The NADA numbers below reflect a base model Gp with a standard 389, which I think is what you have. Research tells me clean original condition, bigger engine, 4 speed, 8 lugs and air can boost the price significantly. But for the standard Gp, these NADA numbers are probably close, your's falling into the upper low retail category. I spent a little time poking around and saw a low of $800 for a parts car, to $29000 for an exceptional, high optioned one, with quite a few in the 4 to 6 range. Your price of $6500 is likely a fair starting point, but I have to say with the market being what it is in Canada, you might not create much traffic with that number. You say the trim is pitted, cracked windshield, needs a door panel, unoriginal wheels, mystery bodywork. I'd have to say without offence and regardless of what you paid, a figure of $6000 might be more realistic to start, might bring more interest with a bottom line of $5000. You never really know though...there is absolutely a growing following for the these Gp's, and someone might be out there just right for it. Seeing it in person like you suggest, would give a better appraisal of it's true condition.

Cheers, and good luck
Mark

Echoing what Mark stated, the used "classic car " market is very slow moving right now. I've had 2 of my cars up for sale for over a year and still have them. Nobody has even come to look and make an offer on my one Trans Am and it's priced below $2000 for a running driving car with original paint. So prepare yourself for the long haul or rock bottom the price and see if anything happens. Nice car by the way!
