$3,500.
I've owned several. They're quieter than the roadsters are. The cost to
restore is greater with more glass and upholstery to replace, but they're
worth less. Other than that, there's not much difference between the GT's
and roadsters.
I would try to find a '65-'67 as they are much more of a classic sports car
than the later cars. I have a '73 B GT and it's a pain to work on compared
to the older cars. The cars got slower, the interiors were cheapened, and
the emissions were more restrictive after 1967.
