Default another what is it worth thread

Been a while since I sold my 69 L-36 to fund a C-1 and now I'm going to look at a 70 convertible this weekend. I know it's hard to get an honest value without pictures but here I am. The car is a clean no hit body, paint is stripped. No rust in the frame or bird cage. Original red on black car. 350HP 350 car. M21 trans both matching numbers. New interior already in the car. 68K miles. running and drivable. Let's here the opinions on value

Also I know about the paint shop expense, but that isn't any issue to me, I do it for a living and I'll just have the material cost and my time invested in that

The car I asked about was a 70, but it sold this morning. I couldn't get there until Sat. so it's a no go for me. Having a job really interferes with my hobbies...lol

He was asking 15K. I'm not heartbroken, as I wasn't really looking for another car, But I do like to have a project in the winter months.
