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.

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.

"What is it worth?" is always a very subjective individual question.. What is your purpose? Parts car, or concours restoration, flip car, or dream car? Arizona rust free- not a Mach1- I'd give $2500 regardless if it runs or not.

Nice ride, it is worth $2,000 to $3,000 not running and $4,000-$5,000 running

Hello guys, well I ended up buying the 72 Mustang with 351 C , some work on the 4160 carb kit, ignition, and entire fuel system and I got it running really nicely, engine sounds bitching nice cam and 140 psi down the banks compression. I'm looking at a door panel kit from CJ Pony and wanted to ask you guys will this kit convert my 721 mach 1 style panels to the standard , all parts seem included in this kit.

What do you mean convert the doors to standard? Does it have the deluxe door panels in it now and you want to swap to the basic ones? I can't say I've seen anybody wanting to go that direction before.

Off the top of my head, the door latch operators are different. I had to order a set of those, and maybe the screws. Its been a while. And my standard door panels did not have a cutout for the remote drivers sport mirror control. You may need to get creative if that aftermarket set does not have the location for it.

I probably have the standard latch mechanisms in my box-o-parts from where I swapped over to deluxe interior.
