'74 2002 Automatic - what do you all think this is worth?

Description:

Hey all,

    I've been slowly working on this car for a while now but unfortunately think I may need to move it along to someone else. Just a little beyond my amateur abilities/time. Wondering what everyone thinks is a good price range to shoot for. As there are so few Automatics out there I can't get a good idea of it's worth. I know the Automatics are desirable because of the large gearbox space that can fit a five-speed manual but I don't know if this would increase or decrease it's value. Maybe it's rarity helps?

 

A few details:

• not too much rust besides surface issues, the spare tire well is nicely rusted through, and there is a small spot in the trunk just behind the rear seat that would need replacement, as well as part of the panel beneath the passenger side seat. Nothing else serious I've been able to find.
• It runs nicely and the transmission seems to be in fine working order.
• I've replaced much of the wiring and cleaned the bejesus out of the engine compartment. Mechanically I've found no problems at all.
• Included several photos of the damage at the rear end (happened while it was parked/abandoned in someones driveway). The trunk is normally attached and will close. The chrome trim around the taillights wasn't damaged, but the cross-strut trim is pretty dinged up. I've pulled out the dent as much as possible, but I think the rear panel should probably just be replaced. Maybe someone at a body shop could work some magic, but its beyond my knowledge.
• interior is in pretty rough shape. Seats would need total redoing, as would the roof liner, and the dash has several cracks, tho I've seen videos of people restoring old dashes in much worse shape. 
• Has all the parts for the sunroof except the little plastic bits that everyone seems to complain about breaking, but the mechanism for winding it open/closed is jammed. Haven't been able to free it up yet.
• Have the majority of the trim, missing maybe three pieces ( I'm including in that the piece across the front of the hood that's really chewed up).
• The accordion rubber bits for the bumpers are pretty wasted and saggy but maybe someone can bring them back to life.
• The rubber seals around the windshield and rear glass will need replacing, hard as rocks.

 

 

Think that's the majority of problems and info. Thanks for reading!

It's a fruity world unless you're a cyborg.

Sorry for the file format mixup, here are some Jpegs. Hopefully these work!

Turkis? over original Fjord paint, automatic, some issues with the rear shock tower, needs paint, body work and an interior refresh.  My estimate, somewhere between $4K and $6K in it's current condition.  New paint, trim, cleaned up interior, all systems functioning correctly, maybe $17 to $22K for an automatic.

 

IMHO,

While I agree with Mark’s assessment, if a potential buyer offers you $4,000, don’t let him get away: negotiate a deal…
