$1000-$1500.  It would still need way too many parts, and way too much labor to get back solid for any buyers I know. And those guys will fix darn near anything. One of the last projects was a Satellite rag top that needed evrything excluding cowl, A pillars, front frame rails, one rear frame rail, and the lower cowl and sides. Everything else was replaced. You're talking $20K worth of steel work plus materials and paint on that Challenger, above and beyond what you're doing. Unless it's a hemi clone, which cant be done on that year with any realization of value after. I'd just rather see a 340 or 360 car that needs the pcs get them. Just my opinion tho. I told my buddy he should be committed when I saw the Satellite too. But, with 2 years of work, and a few tens of thousands for parts, body work, and paint (he does the steel work himself), it's almost done. And a very nice car.

I have spent time researching this and believe you are right Moper.  It looks like I would get $1500 max out of it.  I priced the parts on it through completed sales on Craig's ,Ebay ,Etc.  It looks like it is worth close to $2800 in parts.  It then is more valuable apart then whole. 
Thanks.

Yes, and the sad thing is it only has a little over 60000 on the odometer.  The original owner was going to restore it some day. It was then sold to a second owner who let the car sit for years. I now have it and even though it has sat for 6 months here it has been in a carport under tarps.  When I got it up on the tow truck rats started comming out of it.  They were still dancing around on the flatbed while it was going down the interstate.  LOL.

Ohhhh....that would have done me in!  I can work on a car till I'm caked in grease, but I can't deal with those nasty little things.  :scared: :scared:
