Is An A Body Worth It?

Define "worth it".

For resale to make a profit, depends on how much of the work you can do yourself. Most likely, no. The 73-up A bodies don't have the following that the pre-73's do.

Worth it to have the 340 Duster you've always wanted and it turns out to be a great driver that turns heads and you can hit the local shows, etc?? You bet!

I haven't seen the car but it sounds like fixing it is "worth it". Keeping it a "numbers matching original" is probably not.
