What is the fender tag readout.
Sounds like the car is a full resto, so the value goes down a lot!
The fender tag readout would help the value go back up,,, maybe.
Got any pics?

Unless you have a lot of extra money laying around, you will be way ahead to sell this problem to someone else. To do it correctly based on just what you know is bad and missing, it will cost more than it would be worth. This is exactly the typical type of "project" car someone will buy because it seems like a good price. Until you start to work on it and keep finding less and less of what you thought was reusable. Get frustrated and just try to get rid of it. Now if this is not your first ground up restoration on an E-body and you know what is ahead for you, go for it. But I think since you are trying to get a feel for what it might be worth, ( impossible without extensive pictures)and sounds like what is there is not in great condition, it is probably not a good car to learn on. You probably have $1500. to $2000. dollars worth of parts if you sell what you have. Now a full resto is at least $30-40,000 dollars on a T/A or more in that condition. Sorry but no sugar coating here.

exactly what I was thinking,Your better off to drop the cash for one done and enjoy it now. So many of these projects start off gun hoe then dwindle. Very costly to restore Mopars, unless you can do a majority of it yourself. My thoughts.

Hi Speedy, This is a hobby, You have to figure out just what it is that you want to do with your car. Some guys like to say, Look at my bad ass car, others like to say I did it my way. Get lots of input and make a chose for yourself. Its all about making yourself happy. If you do start in the hole, its lots of work but in the end you there is a since of accomplishment. There is a web site called Moparts.com, a thread on there has a guy completely restoring a 1971 Challenger. His Challenger was a very big mess. He has great talent and his car is coming together very nicely. So I wish you lots of luck for what ever chose you make, this is a very fun hobby.

I'm restoring a 73 Cuda. Lots of work and money. It hasnt had 3 miles put on it in 30 plus years. previous owners had intentions, but other priorities took over. My motto is, if you're going to spend the money and put out the effort, do it with a car that will be worth what you'll have in it. The exception, sentimental value! Then all bets are off!

Prices are pretty much all over the board for a major project car like that so pretty much it is worth what the buyer at that time is wiling to pay. I agree with others the price to repair a rusty car like that is very expensive but don't part it out JMO. I have seen mostly moderate prices on project T/A's but 4-speed cars bring more and AAR 4-speed project cars always seem to bring high dollars. The best thing to do is try to view complete items on e-bay or other sites including SOLD ads in magazines to try to get price ranges. If you decide you are going to sell it or are interested in some kind of trade i have a 69 Dart GTS factory 383HP 4-speed car mostly complete PM me

Interior will cost you a pretty penny. 5-7 K.
So, if your gonna restore a rusty car, a t/a is the way to go. Red on Red is a nice color option.
Do you have a restoration thread anywhere?

Tough to say without pics but I would say it's worth about $8-10k as it sits. A 4 speed TA is one of the few mopars that might be worth restoring these days. If you don't do most all the work yourself you'll probably still be upside down in it when it's done but it will be close.

If you're in it for the money than move along and let someone else deeal with the car. If you love the car and want to hit 500 car shows to haggle with people for e-body parts, keep the car. A car is only worth what someone else is willing to pay for it.
