Default What is this car worth ?

Found this on eBay. The seller is close to where I live. I am thinking of bidding on this.
How much do you think this car is worth for its condition ?
How much more do you think I would spend on this if I were to put in a new motor and trans and get this baby up and running?

I know it's going to be a lot of work. I am up for a complete ground up work.

Its not worth anything. You need to do everything and all to a car without the correct engine...well his wording suggests its not...

Find a better one. This one will cost you a fortune.

Find one for three times the price in okay shape and deal with cosmetics.

Dont pay more than what you will be able to make out of it if you were to sell it as parts.
You are looking at spending more than $20k for which you can get one that runs.

Maybe for parts, but not for that price! I know of a 75 that runs and drives that can be bought for 3500.

Do you hear that sucking sound in the distance? Listen carefully. It is you getting sucked in and you bank account being drained.

Stay away... Far, far, far away.

There are many other project cars out there in far better shape than that one at comperable price.

It might be worth $2k in parts...

Maybe...

If you found $1,999 under the front seat!

This is in your area as well.
Found it on Craigslist this morning. This is worth the asking price.

Please put your wallet in a safe place until a restorable car comes along. Is that new black spray paint on the carpet heel pad in one of the interior photos?
Regards,
