How's the frame? engine? Is it an L-48 or L-82?
Need to know this to give #'s but roughly, an L-48 in average condition with a cooked tranny around here would be pretty cheap. I'm guessing ~4K.

Need a lot more info. and pics to give you any advise.
It could be worth from $2,000 to $10,000. Based on condition and originality.

Look for the last 5 of the VIN# stamped on the front right of the engine block just in front of where the head bolts onto the deck. The tranny should have the VIN# too stamped on it. If they are the same as the VIN# on the car then it's original and worth something, especially if it's a convertible. If the numbers don't match then it's worth less than $6,000 in average condition...probably more like $4,000 if it has high miles on it.
