Need Photos. I purchased one five years ago for $6K. It was a standard no options small block with 4 speed. However the cage and fram wer in great shape and the reare had a set of L88 flairs.

OBTW, I should have retained it . Hope that gives you some idea with out photos.

Take a look on ebay or some other sites and do a compairison on the final sale.

Hard to say without looking at it. If it needs paint, chrome, interior, motor work, probably suspension and drive train work, not to mention possible rust issues. It might be worth $6,000 to 8,000. When you get done you will have over $30k in it. You might do better buying a restored 72 on ebay. They go for 15 to 20K.
