If you know, what is the 'average' price tag for a restored A400 as was shown in picture of (Carini) car back when it was award winning ?

Lastly, approximately how much to redo this A400 to stock/restored ?

As-Is now, probably in the $25k-30k range. A professionally restored A400 to award-winning status today will fetch or exceed $100k.

Personally I don't feel Carini's car was ever an "award-winning" vehicle but maybe during that era it was. In the 60's, probably $3,500.00+/-. I'm kinda basing that off of my Dad purchasing a restored Deluxe Roadster in 1963 for $2,500.

Just remember that back then (-much like today) not everyone viewed a A400 as a car they wanted to own. Yes, they were considered rare, but the popularity is kinda hit or miss on those cars. For my personal taste, I think they look nice with the top up, however they look odd with the top down. Many share my sentiments, ...and if the top is never going to be let down, a Victoria Coupe is seemingly just as desirable.
