Reply to "Basket Valuation???"

Hey Matt, Welcome to the PIBB! Sounds like you have an interesting find. The BIG question is the condition of the ZF. If it grinds in gear, or has internal damage ..you can expect a repair or replacement to be between 3-7 thousand $. The 351 engine should be easy to find. A nice rebuilt engine complete should be around 3-5 thousand. These are the most expensive parts. LOOK carfully for rust. Check under the car and the ares under the radiator and the area behind the driver seat and bulkhead as these are the most prone to rust. Headlight buckets are available and I know of 2 cars being parted out right now by other board members. They both have many parts available. You can buy a running fixer-upper for 28-33K. The car you describe sounds like 10-15 less that that. 10-18 K It would be hard to buy a car not running for much over 20, unless it had a transmission garantee. You have found a great site with many helpfull people. Also try panteraplace.com Mike Dailey has a wealth of info posted. Good luck!
