Not a lot of 442 pace cars have gone through BJ or Mecum lately. The only recent one that did sold for $77k.

Before that most sold for $45k-55k

A lot of variables will affect price.
-Originality...number match on all or most of the major components. If not add that to the negotiation.
-Documentation proving the pedigree/history of the car and of the restoration to see how bad it was prior to the resto. Amateur or professional resto? Body on or off frame? Receipts for the cost of the resto etc...
-Current condition. Bushings, BJs, Frame, all metal seams & inners, cowl under the windshield, floor & trunk pans. Does everything performance test ok? (functions).
-Is is a dry car or something that lived in the NW or NE all it life? Id ask to see the cowl under the windshield and the floors under the carpet. That alone will drop the price 10K if its shot. Getting someone to disassemble these items to inspect can be difficult.
-Drunk bidders at the auction lol....But a true factor.
-Ever been wrecked?
-Is it an "Event car"? Or just a replica? Event cars with lineage sell for more with proof.

The hose clamps and battery cables should be the least of your worries. That's a weekend of fun wrenching taking a car to the next level just by replacing the trinkets...down to the hose clamps as they say. Check under dash wiring. Rats nest or nice?

If this car is completely solid and meets the important criteria listed above expect ~75K ± 10K....non Mecum Dollars. If it goes to Mecum well.

Festival car info if it applies to this would add to the value. There’s a list somewhere of VIN #s and the drivers on the day of Indy 500

I'd be interested in seeing a build sheet from a Lansing car.

For some reason your attachments are not displaying properly, but that's a broadcast card, not a build sheet.

There is nothing on the .pdf file you uploaded - nothing. Have you tried opening it yourself? There is nothing there.
Take a photo of what you want to upload then post a photo. You're not providing any additional information. It looks like a scanner image which failed to copy the entire scan image.
