This is one of those length of string questions. What year? What condition? Is it bent? Ever been repaired? Off a stolen car? Lots of questions.

If I had a rusty chassis and some time I would say yes it is worth it. You could do a rebuild on the new rolling chassis and then do a body swap.

Good frames are at least 1500 some over 2000, then there's the diff...around 500.....rotors are throw aways, so are the wheel bearings. If the trailing arms are good, don't show any rust bubbles, around 200-300/pr...a arms, 125-150 for the set...rims...worth some money to the guy that's looking for the date codes...

Assuming the frame is straight, no rust bubbles, same with the trailing arms, rims are not beat up or bent, and the gear is not blown...yea, that's a good price.
