I hate to even think of it, but '65 Signet value?

I've muddled over this AT LEAST a hundred times, but I think in the long run it's probably the end result. The type of car I'm wanting will cost much more than a later A-body in terms of available aftermarket parts.
I'm seriously considering selling My '65 Signet to give partial funds towards another car. Here's the list of parts I have and what kind of work needs done to it so I can hopefully get a good gauge on what it's all worth.
Parts-
I have all of the original parts for the car like the motor trans. Additional parts include a 318 that was rebuilt back in the 1998 time frame, maybe 10k miles on it. Edlebrock performer aluminum intake with Carter AFB 650 carb.
I also have a 4-speed from a 1964 Barracuda with the only missing parts being the pedal assy and the ball stud that mount to the car.
i have a front valance from the same cuda in good shape, needs some straightening, but no rust or patch work is needed.
I also have 4 Tail light bezels, none are in great shape, all are straight but chrome is pitted and peeling. also have a set of the three piece that goes below the rear window of the 64 cudas. Probably the same for 64-66.

what the car needs-
It currently is just a roller, so engine needs re-installed and trans needs rebuilt.
body wise it's pretty straight with exception of needing rear lower 1/4's both sides along with upper wheel well patch work. the drivers side fender is not the factory fender that came on the car, but is the correct replacement and needs light patch work on the lower piece behind the wheel.
both of the frame rails under the front floor boards needs work done to them. They aren't completely rotted out, but the inner corners of them are rust pitted and pretty thin looking. It's NOT the ENTIRE front frame rails, just from under the firewall to about 1.5-2' in front of the torsion bar brace. T-bar brace on driver side has some minor flaking which cleaned up a good bit with some light sanding.
It's has the LBP disk brake swap and likely needs a brake job on all 4 corners.

Interior is only missing the correct arm rests, other than that, all there. Carpet needs replaced, but is still there.

So what kind of value would you all give something like this with all the parts along with it?

Here are a few pics if they would help at all.

About 1000 to 1500 according to recent similar sales.

I wish it were otherwise, but when we're selling the answer is "a whole lot less than we wish".

Early A's just don't bring much money unless it's an exceptional survivor car or something very rare. I agree with chryslerfat $1500 at the most, if you get more you're lucky.

Needs a lot of work, not to be a downer but maybe consider parting it out. Getting into structural frame stuff takes the right enthusiast owner. Good luck with it----

I love the 65 Valiant two doors. I eish you wete closer to Florida. Wichita is a few miles away. $800 should do

You've got some goof stuff but most folks just don't like to buy a non-running project.
As is getting over $1,000 might be all you can get because there's a lot of work to get it on the road.
And it could take a longtime to find a buyer, I mean a real long time.
Not that you asked but you could consider installing engine so it runs and then do whatever else is needed to get it drivable. Then it would not only be more attractive to buyers but you might be able to evaluate better whether you might want to sell it or if its enjoyable enough to keep it.

This ^^^^^.

I'm in the market currently for a moderately priced 63-65 Valiant. If I was local and saw this ad "as is" I would just skip over. If it was running I would come give it a look for sure!
