The value is a hard question to answer but my GUESS would be somewhere from 500 to 1500 depending on shape. As 69 cuda mentioned these big can get expensive due to availability of parts but 60-61 may be more available that the older 40-50's. Remember, condition..condition...condition. Don't let your brain talk you into something it shouldn't. Just think, new tires, brakes, body work can add up faster than you think...however, it also may depend on your own skills. Just Think About It....then buy it!
