Worth anywhere from $100 to about $8000 depending on condition.

Judging strictly by the pics, I would offer $3.50.

Rust is the main thing. $5000 if no rust, V-8 GT, good interior & paint, disk brakes, 8.75" rear. Subtract $4500 if many rust-thrus. Add $1500 if a no-rust car in the East or Canada. Subtract $400 for a slant, unless buyer wants to go hemi or 360 anyway. Subtract $300 for bench seats. So on. In other words, a top-line car is worth much more than the sum of its parts, particularly for those who don't want the work as a hobby.

Nice assessment, thanks. I was guessing it would top out around 6000-7000. AS they always say on the auction shows on TV, "...maybe even MUCH higher for the right buyer" but I don't think you'd see too many "right buyers" for a 65 Dart GT. Oh, yeah a 70 Demon 340 , or something like that, you would draw the attention of collectors outside of the narrower circle of , well, of us on this site!

Clean but not really running...$1200-1500, not molested!!

Might generous of you Sir. But judging by the pictures and info given I bid nada...

Assuming none but a bit of hidden rust in the usual places, and could be driven locally safely, and no silly surprises/molestations, and a good paint job, 4500 for classy, easy to work on transportation is reasonable, I 'd say. On the other hand, 4500 can get you a 2000 Jelly bean car that should last you 3-4 years. Wanna drive a car that looks like all the other white/black/grey/silver Jelly beans, or that looks like a funky-*** tennis shoe on wheels?
Looking further, would the 2000 or the Valiant have better resale after 3-4 yrs?
