Arnold,

 =C2=A0

$3500 these days as a basket case =E2=80=9CTR=E2=80=9D with all its =E2=80=
=9Crestorable=E2=80=9D parts.=C2=A0 Other models may be different.

 =C2=A0

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 up=
on your short list.

 =C2=A0

Overall condition of the interior and exterior, running / driving are all c=
onsiderations.=C2=A0 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 r=
eal price.=20

 =C2=A0

That said, there are a lot of factors you need to consider in that potentia=
l sale, like you want to see it go to someone who will use it, enjoy it, re=
store it.

 =C2=A0

You might consider an evaluation tool such as is on the Hagerty Insurance w=
eb site to get a better feel for what your car might be worth based upon it=
s overall condition, just read the various condition descriptions and answe=
r the questions and you will get a more accurate of your cars value range b=
ased upon the current markets.
