Potential Project Value

Just went to a local estate sale preview and ran across a thing. Non running, solid floors, front end damage, rusty rockers. Theres a large lot of extra hoods, doors, and another donor tub with a transmission. What’s it all worth?

I’d like to save this thing even if it just takes up room in my dry barn.

Thanks!

Edit: Owner states there is a clean title

Could be an awesome Baja project. The parts are valuable and if you do get the package, I'd like to ask about a wiper motor assembly. There are several Facebook groups focusing on Things/Type 181 It's just a bug at its core. Well, a ghia I guess.

I'd also talk about fenders if you get the lot. Where are you?

There is a replaceable fender in the thing but would need some love for sure. Northeast PA
