what is this 1971 worth for a project

Oh it's not a "maybe it's bent". That car is bent. I would venture ti guess you will need a new right rail, right inner fender, right fender, front lower tie bar, and soe time on the rack to pull the left one back in line prior to the new parts going on. That's not an easy fix. If it's a numbers 340 car and you can do most of it yourself then it's worth a thousand or maybe a little more. If not - you'll have $10K into the body of a $7K car.
