OK I'll have a go.
IMO definitely less than 10K, maybe around $5K.
Needs a whole slew of parts, Engine, TRans, glass, interior, gauges, trunk, bumper, and all the little stuff.
even 5 may be pushing it.

Well if their is no floors to be replaced and quarters or any other body parts it will cost you atleast around $35K-$40K to get that car finished not including any personal labor and that would be around 700-1000 hours.
Wasn't this car just on Ebay 2 or 3 months ago? The auction ended early, were you the buyer or the seller that ended the auction early?
I would say with a real build sheet and original motor, somewhere in the 10-12k range.

I'm with Brad on his estimate of what it will take to complete this car. I'm thinking "as is" it is definitely south of $10k as it sits, probably closer to $6k.

What he said... and then some.
That car is rough, but it is worth it if you have the time and PLENTY of $$$ to throw at it.

Is this the car that was in Woodstock, IL? If so, I looked at that one and was scared away. I'd say definitely worth less than $10K, maybe $5K.
