Even with the bankroll, I don't think I would have the ambition for this one.
Parts anyone?

Would this even be worth it?

It is not worth it in my opinion unless you like doing the work. You can buy nice restored 71 SB for less than this will cost to restore.

It's a shame someone didn't take better care of it along the way.

Hi,
I like 71 cars about as much as anyone, but….
if the seller gave the buyer the car and $10,000, it would STILL wouldn't make much sense trying to make it into a car again.
Regards,
Alan

Two grand seems like a lot for what is essentially a parts car.

Actually I see more than 2k in parts...The tilt tele is worth a few bucks, glass, rocker moldings if real, etc. No open hood shots but say it has a motor and trans. I see room for profit as a good parts car.

Yes, I agree, BUT... having "been there, done that", I wonder is it enough profit to be worth the time, labor, & expense of the loading, hauling, stripping, ware-housing, photographing, advertizing, boxing, and shipping?
