Well I guess it will be worth what someone wants to pay for it. Up to 19K plus as I write this.
I have some questions on this persons ability to handle the details of a job. This is mostly rinky dink but ...
1. the hood pin lashes are comming through the hood when they should be coming out he grill then back to the pins
2. The oil pan sure has ALOT of dents from being pounded out
3 I can't put my finger on it, but something just doesn't look right about the front seat.
4 The radio isn't functional- or he'd have the antenna plugged into it.
5 the grill has both the silver and the black- you'd figure if he was "restoring it he'd have got that right.
6. all the hood bumpers are missing- that will let the hood chip the paint real quick.
There are other things, but the biggest is the white color- that covers ALOT of sins. No rust- maybe- but I'd bet there is mud ina few places. The reflections just don't look right in a couple of the pictures.
I don't know about the curve in that rear spoiler- I have never seen that before.
Like a said- rinky dink, but if those things aren't done up to snuff- then what else is shaky.
sorry to be the devil advocate on this, but I saw a GTX 440 727 8 3/4 ( non number match) go for about 14K . but the rest of the car was spot on. I would guess that 20 k would be about the limit- and I would put that in escrow after asking ALOT of questions about how much and where the body work has been done and only after checking the serial number on the firewall to be sure it is an original body for the car. Something just stinks about this one to me. But I could be wrong. I hope so.

yup, there is someting shady about this car I got a hold of the owner and he can't verify that is a matching number, plus he did not sound so familiar with this car. Also he told me who much he wanted but I don't know if is proper for me mention the price. Thanks Road Chicken for your detailed responce.

His lack of ability to write an intelligent sentence, and only one ebay feedback is enough to cause me to worry about that auction.
Another detail item to add to the list...looks like it has cuda sill moldings (too short)
Looking back at my records, that same car was on ebay last November out in Santa Maria, CA .... at best, this guy is a flipper....
On the plus side, it's a super trak pack car!
