Not at all. $12,368.85 is $57,173.65 in 2021 currency. Keeping a vehicle in a facility like that is at minimum $250/mo, which for 45 years is $135,000. So already over $67k in the hole, plus whatever the maintenance costs were... Cars still need regular fluid changes, new batteries every 5 years, and all rubber replaced every 10 years even when they are sitting still.

If they ever start the Radwood shows again, you should bring it!
If you ever wanted a FIAT Spider, these end of production ones built by Pininfarina are definitely good ones to get. This one looks nicely spiffed up. Next owner is probably going to wish they kept the fuel injection on it... Dual carbs are for people who like to fiddle with them.
Any idea how much to convert it back to Fi?
Maybe $500-$800, not including labor. The MAF is the most expensive part, so I would skip trying to put the L-Jetronic back on it and just go for a Speeduino or Megasquirt. You could get $1500 for the carb setup no problem.
