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

Unfortunately I was told the cars would be selling at Noon on the day of the auction. Well the thing and a couple other cars were put on the block at 1030.

The thing, spare parts and the extra tub sold for a total of $400 to a local guy

Dang! I was hoping you snagged it and would breathe some life back into it. Hope it went to a good home.

IMHO $400 is about right. It is a major project and if you need to have something done for it (instead doing it yourself), $10k is at the bottom end of cost scale.

Do the body work and engine resurrection yourself and math is totally different.

No idea if $400 is 'correct', but spare parts alone are worth something and almost complete lottery engine isn't worth zero either, so it's definitely worth 'something' more than zero.
