Default How much is it worth?

Hey guys i know this a hard question to answer without seeing the car in person but a rough estimate would be very helpful.

I have a 1967 with the following specs:
289 2v
stock everthing
body panels are rust free except for quarter panels
frame rails are very rusty and bent (i might replace these)
Automatic tranny
power steering
vinyl top
BRAND new interior
gauge cluster can use paint
new radio aftermarket radio
new paintjob most likely lime gold to match interior which is ivy gold.
new tires 14in w/hubcaps that have varying amounts of curb rash.(the blue center cap spoked ones)
121k miles
comes with new headliner the current one has 2 quarter sized holes in it.
needs new right reverse light socket.
chrome is decent some very little pitting/spots
brand new drum brakes+lines all around.
manual brakes
new battery
runs strong

any other questions just ask.

looking for a rough estimate of a price range.

Unfortunately Rmodel has it about right.

Fix the rust and frame rails, repaint it, put in the new headliner when repainting, and in general clean it up and you'll haul in more cash off of it.
If you repaint it when it has rust damage, it's like shooting yourself in the foot...

really for one that needs quarters and rails. Nothing their is all the expensive the paint job is usless being it needs quarters. Besides the interior depending on what brand i dont see anything their worth that much and would have a hard time giving anyone over 2k for a project like that running and driving. And thats if its rear rail extension if its fronts i wouldnt pay 2k for it. I see the car being worth 1000 or so plus whatever he has in it for parts. Would depend on pics tho from what it sounds like it needs alot of work. But im sure to someone youll get more then what im saying, theirs aways someone that doesnt know what to look for.

Quarters and rails depending on your capibilitys. Some people see a classic and it has nice paint but dont realize the amount of bondo in the quarters. Or they dont look at the frame rails and bring a screw driver to ensure their solid. Another is cowl alot of people just do the plastic cowl fix and the buyer never takes the time to look under the dash to see it or pour water in the vent to see if it leaks.

If there are small things you can do yourself to make a big visual difference I would do that to maximize what you can get for it. I would not do expensive things because you will never see your money back. You will be to upside down. Stuff like cleaning and detailing the eninge compartment, replace the dash bezel (dont' paint it, that looks cheezy), fix upholtery tears. Those thing will maximize your profit. I would not do body work, frame rails or paint. Too costly and no return on the dollar. Sell it for what you can get and then move on. I would like to see pictures of the frame rails to see if they really need replacing.

Sounds good. I definitely will clean up the car. I have a friend that owns a body shop he said he would do the body work for cheap, well see. i only have 2 classes tomorrow so ill see if i can clean that engine bay up, theres a do it yourself car wash a few minutes away that has a "engine setting"

Thing is the guy thats interested is supposedly going to fix the car up nice, i say supposedly because he said he didnt want to look at it before it was painted. go figure.

whoever wired this car loved electrical tape and hated safety, keep seeing cut wires that are taped back together, going to fix that too.
