Not enough info to nail down a value. Does it run? What all's been done to it? Is it even still the original drivetrain? How's the car look from the bottom? If its all rusted out under it, it will cost more to fix it than the car will ever be worth. It would only be worth the parts you could salvage off it.

Assuming its the original motor, not screwed with too much internally, it runs ok, and its not rusted through everywhere under it, that could be a $5k car around where I am.

VIN number is H code. 351C 2v motor. We can see some bolt-ons like intake and carb. I see a brake booster, which means power brakes. AC compressor is missing the pulley. 2.75:1 open diff. FMX transmission.

Welcome! How did you know I was going to ask about the Jeep? I live in Mesa, where abouts in Arizona is this?

If it runs, is rust free, and appeals to you, bid what you're comfortable with. It looks like a good driver that you could enjoy and work on at the same time.

Haha, I thought about asking on the Jeep also, lol. Not time for another project for me yet.

Interior appears sun beaten and engine may be modified. I will say less that $5k if mechanically decent and no rust.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

Never bid in round, even dollar amounts. You easily get sniped by a $1501 bid. Didn't you learn anything from The Price Is Right?....
If the body is truly straight and solid, it's worth $2k. Running decent, $4-5k.

Here in rusty CT, that car is worth $4k+ all day long if it's not filled with plastic.

IMO, I'd be bidding on that Jeep behind it too.
