How much would you spend on it?
That was a pretty car when new. The paint color may not look good now, but maybe it'll buff out. The caved in quarter, not so much. There are virtually no reproduction C-body parts available. And that includes sheet metal. You say you don't need floors, but you can't even get decent repro floors for a C-body even though they used the same floors from 65-70, and with minor modification all the way till 73. That means the straight and more solid the body, the better the investment. That said, even the worst C-body project or parts cars seem to be priced in the $2000 to $5000 range. But, I would hope the parts cars aren't actually selling in that range. If your plan is to just get it operational and drive it as it, it's probably worth $2500 to $3000 at the most if it's complete. But, if your plan is to restore it, that quarter panel almost makes it not worth the effort unless you have a solid quarter panel lying around.
I have two C-bodies. One is a 66 Sport Fury hardtop with mostly original paint. Its only a 318 poly under the hood, but it was such a clean low mileage car I couldn't pass it up when I found it eight years ago. I paid $12,000 then and have done nothing to it beyond a carb rebuild and a fuel pump. My other C-body is a 383 66 Polara convertible. Just got that one a few months ago. I paid $10,000 though the original asking price was $17,000. The plan was just a quick trip to Maaco for a new paint job. But, when I went to replace the carpet I found some rust in the floor. Finding a decent front floor pan is proving to be difficult (the rest of the car is solid).
Oh, and before anyone says a C-body is just too big of a boat to be of any interest, I should point out that a 66 Fury is within 2" of length and width of a 68 Charger.
