Default 68 Roller value?

Thinking about selling my 68, since I won't have any time in the near future to complete this LS swap. I was just wondering if any of you guys had some idea of what it would be worth. Body is solid, the paint is a good 10 footer. The trunk floor is solid, but I think the floor behind the drivers seat will need to be patched/replaced. The car is currently a roller, but I have the trans crossmember and z bar so installing a sbc and trans would be easiest, I just don't have the time.

Located southwest of Chicago. Any thoughts?

I really think it would be worth while to finish the car. Even if you stuck a used drive line in there. A 5K invertment could get you a 10K return. Call around to the hot rod shops. Some of them may have drive lines form a car they updated. They may give you a great deal on the drive line and the install as a package deal.

Assuming it is a clone that is a 10K car with out the drive line 20K if you get it rolling under its own power.

The car looks good, I agree that you will get more by dropping in some motor just to get it moving under it own power. I wish my car was in that stage of fwd progress. I would drop in the motor now and be driving by tonight!

It's really hard to put a dollar value on it, when you're emotionally involved. Thanks for the feedback guys, I'll keep you updated on which direction the car goes..
