Public source, German car press. Different cars, but one might get the idea. Not sure what you saw but I see different...

And by the way, this is what Gemballa itself states online about it: "Using a bespoke ram air intake system, freer flowing stainless steel exhaust with sport metal catalytic convertors and remapped ECU, GEMBALLA’s engineers have increased its output from 612 to 670 hp, with peak torque up from 590 to 630 Nm."

So kindly post a photo showing this chrysler 300 whatever thing on a Mirage.

As the resident baseball star pointed out, the non-functional roof scoop is a big no-no. Zagato modified this car in the right, subtle way. I am sure they would be more than willing to make you the panels for a stock CGT.
If no extra attachment points were added to the chassis, I don't see why it shouldn't be worth only slightly less than an equivalent stock CGT provided the original parts come with it.
As for value, everything is relative and everything has some value. I would certainly drive the hell out of this car on a twisty, slow road regardless of how degrading the bodykit and the wing look.
As my dad used to say, one kilo of trash is a liability, but a million kilos of trash can be a valuable asset.
Who was the first owner of the car? Can I hazard a wild guess that it is someone in the German entertainment business? I think I might have even crossed paths with the gentleman. Send me his name by PM.
