Default 428CJ Rusted Shell Worth?

What is this worth if it proves to be a genuine 428CJ?

Is it a 69 or 70? Looks like a 70 from the back.

I hear that Dynacorn is going to make a 69 body shell next year for the Mustang. If the VIN is a true 428CJ regardless of rust you could buy a new shell and put the VIN plates on it I would think.

It is a 70, you are correct. I am waiting of the VIN to confirm options etc.

Is that car being held up by some sort of yellow strap, or is that police "Crime Scene" tape looped through the interior.

if i had the time and the money, and i saw one of those for sale and it was a true 428CJ i would pay up to 7k for a shell w/ no interior or anything

Does it have the original motor and trans? If it does its one of those cars that can be worth more money than you put into it restoring it.

it looks like a complete car, if its got the motor and tranny (mainly motor), then it is worth a pretty penny even with the rust.
