Not worth much to me, maybe 10 bucks or so if not a lot of leaks. But then I couldn't care less about "numbers" :noway:
Al,
That radiator with the XJ and IA tanks including the correct BO tag for a 396 3 row core ( used as you stated on L78 4-speed cars with 3.55 axle) should bring around $300- $400 in rebuildable shape. Pretty hard radiator to find if you need one. 454 cars had the same tanks on 3.31 cars (except A/C models) with 4-speed but carried a BQ coded tag. So a guy with an LS5 or LS6 can use this radiator with a tag change.
Tanks look pretty straight and if not cracked are where most of the value is.
Tony, you scored on that one!

Recore the rad and with the tag as well, you will get decent money. The COPO 4 speed Chevelles also used those tanks but the rad was coded BQ.
