What's it worth? '72 Duster

[SoCalVal]

Wondering what something like this is worth. What do you guys think would be the high and low value? It's a roller, needs lower quarters.

Well, for one thing, it's a '73.

 

[YY1]

can't see the motor mount to tell if it was a /6 car.

manual steering, manual brakes, no A/C.

I don't think I'd go more than $1200, and that's if it was a V8 car with a clean title and good floors.

Yeah, depends on the parts the pic doesn't show. Floors, trunk extensions and rails front and rear. No drivetrain, missing trim, rear body/bumper damage.

Given you're in So Cal, does it have a clean title? Makes a difference here in AZ also. Does it need only exterior rear quarter patches or both inner and outer? A '73, '74, or '75 are worth a bit more and generally easier to sell locally since no smog required unlike a '76. I'd put it on Craiglslist for 1500.00 obo and go fishing. You could just as easily start it off at 3000. If you get 50 calls in the first week it may be to low, no calls could mean it's to high. Though you have to remember half of the calls on C/L tend to be folks who can't purchase it for what ever reason and just like to talk. Depending on what you find out price wise you could then adjust (or not) and take to Fall fling in Van Nuys, CA in a couple months. That's the ideal marketplace for this. In the end every seller has to decide if they want a price or they want to sell. the former takes longer to find that certain buyer willing to pay your price, the later takes a willingness to negotiate. My two cents.

Thanks guys, that's kind of in line with what I was thinking. Maybe 1000 low, 1500 as fair, and probably 2500 max. It's being offered to me in trade, so I just wanted to see if I'm still in touch with the market on this stuff or if I was way off.

It appears to be a bucket seat car. Can't tell if it's column or floor shift. If rails and floors are good. It could be worth $1500.

Rust in 1/4's and beat up tail panel, $1000ish out here...

Looks like a console auto car... maybe $1250.

 

[YY1]

Good point buckets and console could add a bit of value.

Ill give you 50 bucks for the wheels IF they are small bolt pattern

It has modern California plates. I suspect it is from out of state. You really should inspect the undercarriage, trunk, and floors for rust unless you know it is from a “dry” state like Arizona or New Mexico.
