Thinking I might be moving to a place I can't take this with me and trying to figure out whether to save or sell for the cash. Can you guys give me some sort of value on what this is worth. Here's a partial build list. Body is pretty straight, minor rust in the rockers that the previous owner covered with diamond plating and two small bondo spots/dented front fender on the fenders. Currently it's flat black, was camo'ed by previous owner over the stock green.

I don't know but if you do decide to sell it I might be tempted. :D
 
It will probably be for sale soon, just trying to get a handle on price since I can't really find anything with a 396 in past sales to compare. To me it's worth 12-14K based on how much money is in just the motor and tranny alone, but I'm biased obviously and the body isn't perfect (although not rough at all). Anyone else have any opinion. Thinking of taking a job working for a non-profit overseas, so want to pay off all my debt before I leave, and this is my big asset.
