Hate to ask but its another "whats it worth" post.
72 Duster Original 318 car, Super solid and straight car. No bondo that I can find. Old thin re-paint is flaking off in spots.
Only rust is a small hole in the trunk behind the passenger wheel well and a few rust bubbles under the tail lights.

Slapper bars
Near new (maybe 50 miles on them) Nitto 555R Drag Radials
Same mileage on new general front tires

All this stuff I put on within 50 miles ago and 2 months.
New:

The Bad:
Interrior was redone at some point but dash is all cracked, no headliner and rear luggage deck needs recovered.
Windows need tint removed.
Needs an alignment
Has minor valvetrain noise
Leaks oil out of the pan
Needs shocks
Paint isnt the best
I know ill never get out of it what I have put in but I am at a place with my personal business where I could use the capital. Thanks ahead of time here are some pics.

I always ask myself what a "done" will actually sell for. Its true value. Then I add up what it will cost to make it a "done" car. Parts, labor IF you have to pay it done. If you provide the labor you might be working for FREE. Subtract, there is the answer for what any project car is maybe worth. You start figuring from the top and work done.
Why are so many in any old car upside down? Because they over estimated the value of the project car?????
Realistically, comparable sales in YOUR area is the key. But. No one wants to share what they actually got for their car.
 
Well I'm a moron cause I spent 12K on a solid chassis with crumpled quarters, doors, fenders and walked on roof. I'm probably all in at around $18k now but my paint is new and interior is excellent... I would be very excited to purchase that car for $15k...I agree with others, ask 20K or maybe a bit more. Not everyone wants to do the work to get it like that.

YOU did the work. You didn't send that out for body and paint for $6000!
Old Moparprices and values? Prices vary by location!!!! Disclaimer!
 
Clearly I have a bias (see avatar) but I would pay fifteen all day for that and be thrilled. No way would I list that for less than twenty. There is all kind of rollers on sale for 12-15. Clearly you are way past that. I echo Toolman, list it for 20 or so.
 
After seeing what some of the junk at Carlisle sold for on Wednesday and Thursday. I would list it at $20 OBO
