I know someone who is selling a vintage Optima (he claims it was a Javelin) for $40. I've always wanted to get an Optima Mid since I had one as a kid, but don't really have any emotional attachment to the original Optima. Alas, the original Javelin body has been discarded.
It has the belt drive upgrade, a broken A-arm, Mid wheels, and what appears to be a Mid body. If it still runs (besides the A-arm), are there any thoughts on if it's worth at least $40 in the open market?
