Arnold,

$3500 these days as a basket case =E2=80=9CTR=E2=80=9D with all its =
=E2=80=9Crestorable=E2=80=9D parts. Other models may be different.
=20
Initial feeling is that you have been offered a =E2=80=9Cforced sale =
value=E2=80=9D which is about a third or less of its retail value, only =
based upon your short list.
=20
Overall condition of the interior and exterior, running / driving are =
all considerations. So if it has a good paintjob, good interior, no =
rust, it runs and drives, you may be fairly confident you have at least =
$10k of real price.=20
=20
That said, there are a lot of factors you need to consider in that =
potential sale, like you want to see it go to someone who will use it, =
enjoy it, restore it.
=20
You might consider an evaluation tool such as is on the Hagerty =
Insurance web site to get a better feel for what your car might be worth =
based upon its overall condition, just read the various condition =
descriptions and answer the questions and you will get a more accurate =
of your cars value range based upon the current markets.

I know that a car is only "worth" what someone is willing to pay for it. =
That said I have been offered $3500.00 Garaged, minimal body rust. =
Engine turns over. Needs a tune up. Many new parts, and original parts =
to return to non-modified, improved, running condition. Panasports, =
improved wiring, starter,voltage regulator, fuel pump, distributor etc, =
etc. I am not greedy but I don't want to cheat myself.New top =
installed. I have had the car since 1980 but circumstances beyond my =
control cause this sale. Many extra body, engine and gear box parts. =
Thanks all, Arnold Gilmour avid digest recipient.
