1973 Duster 340 Clone, Whats it Worth

Wow, I want to thank everybody for their input so far and you all bring up very good points that have actually got me thinking very hard (losing sleep actually). I’m not a purist and I was drawn to this car because it had the 71 look I was shooting for and it is relatively close to my location. Unfortunately, there are too many unknowns and for that kinda money you guys might be right, it may be better to walk away. I’ve given some thought to offering 7-8k.

As I ponder this agonizing decision, how do I determine if the wiring was changed properly for the V8 swap (doesn’t the V8 use a different wiring harness)? How difficult would it be to reinstall the side marker lights (I’m concerned it would not pass PA inspection without)? Please share your thoughts.
