I really don't know what it is worth, myself, but it sure would be a great project. Joel (Adams Apple) or some of the other guys could tell you what a good price would be. Wish it all was in my shop right now. Wouldn't have to worry about my spare time for a few years.

steve, In its current state Id say about 18 to 20k If you look at Corvette and Chevy trader, Similar cars in good condition are about 35k to 40 k,Looks like a good project,,rd

Big block bumper car with a solid rolling chassis and completed body w/engine rebuilt? Don't let the interior scare you....18-20K would be a fair guesstimate....

Man that would be alot of work but well worth it.
If you're going to keep it for yourself, it would be worth it. If you thinking of reselling it after rebuild, keep in mind that it's really hard to even break even on the money invested. I've invested 20-25k in cars before and was happy to see a 5-6 100 dollar profit. Just my 2 cents and a little of my experience. Hope it will help you out. Very good project though.

Its an interesting question. It definately looks like a worthwhile project BUT
A) It needs paint work = $$$$
B) No mention if the rear end and T-arms were done also $$$$
C) The interior looks orig and needs love also $$$$$
Im figuring 2500 to 3500 on paint work, 4500 on the rear, 3000 on the interior, figure another 3000 at least on misc. your looking at 13500 mean price. The car should sell for 18000 to 20000 as it sits but by the time you add everything up the ecomonics dont work. At its peek it was high 30s to low 40s, now i'd say this is a mid 30s car if done to a nice street standard. Me, I'd have to pay 12500.00 to stay on the right side.

Fellers.....that's an awful lot of werk to complete...especially since someone else tore it apart. Definitely NOT for the weak or timid restorer...
I'd say prolly $12-15,000 max. Who knows what all is missing on that thing?
