I'll not comment on value but will say that's an INCREDIBLE transformation!
Absolutely beautiful. Great job...

To offer any fair appraisal value we would need a lot more information detailing what was actually accomplished during the restoration and many more detailed photos.

Looks like you didn't understand my entire post. A more detailed verbal/written description of what was actually accomplished on the jeep during the resto is needed and detailed pics to support those written points. Your photos are nice to have but the majority of them only support a good cleanup, stripping and repainting. A few of the following questions can be answered to some extent by reviewing your photos but only a few.

You need to address the following questions as a minimum:

1-Engine overhauled by whom? What parts were new? Were cylinders bored oversize, sleeved or left standard? Was crank and/or cam machined?

2-Was the radiator used as is, overhauled or new?

3-Was the clutch uses as is, or reconditioned or new?

4-Was the transmission used as is, overhauled or new?

5-Was the transfer case used as is, overhauled or new?

6-Were the driveshafts used as is or overhauled or replaced with new?

7-Were the front and rear axles used as is or overhauled?

8-Was the brake system used as is, overhauled or replaced new?

9-Was the steering system used as is, overhauled or replaced new?

10-Were the instruments used as is, overhauled or replaced with new?

11-Were the electrical accessories (starter, generator, regulator, distributor, horn, light switch, horn switch) used as is, overhauled or replaced with new?

12-Was the wiring and lamp assemblies used as is, overhauled or replaced with new?

13-What is the odometer reading? Is it reliable? What is the age of the batteries and tires? What is the mileage on the current tires?

14-Does the jeep come with a top? If so what is the condition of the top.

Yes, these are a lot of questions but these are the same questions a buyer will ask. If you wish a member here to place his reputation on the line to offer an appraisal of your jeep you must give him an honest appraisal of what you have put into your jeep.
