Opinion.... Solid cars, apart, and apart for many years with several small things 'misplaced', are, in my opinion, not worth very much. I did a 34 a few years ago, similar story. I had a lot of fun, and a lot of 'entertainment'. It was not a financially sound thing to do. Seems to me, people who own these projects, measure their worth compared to finished, driving cars. I'm more inclined to measure the worth against scrap value, or swap meet parts value.
Having said all this, I also would note that the market trend seems to be down, and going down more as us older folks die off. Easy to see, if you follow prices for your favorite models, as compared to just a few years ago.
