70 Challenger Lover

I just did many of the repairs your car needs on my 70 RT. Very fixable stuff. In the end, to do it right, the crunched inner fender panel will need to be cut off and both frame rails checked for true. Then reattach new inner fender and a different fender depending on how bad that fender is crunched. Obviously trunk floor if you already have one. I did my own roof skin and I can see that being an easier job than trying to fix your original. They aren't super expensive.

Other than that, a great base project ready to build any way the new owner wants. Since it's only a base model car with a 318 auto and missing fender tag and build sheet, the other options like color mean nothing. The new owner is free to build it any which way which is a nice place to start in my opinion.

I'd say around $15k but maybe as high as $20 to the right buyer and especially if you put a lot of it back together.

Thank you for the input.  I plan to list it as soon as I have better photos, an inventory of parts and crank it to see if it fires. I don't think I will take it any further since whoever buys it I suspect will tear into it since they can make whatever they want from it.

Buyers can be funny that way. Every car I have ever bought with a running engine was wiped out and needed a rebuild yet people always key in on that as a real factor in whether to buy it and how much to pay. Same thing with basket cases. I actually love them when I know what I'm buying. Basket cases are often loaded with extra stuff and sometimes parts from other cars that can be sold or traded away. Yet a lot of folks are terrified they won't get all the parts or they won't know how it goes back together. You have a highly desirable car so you should do well. Don't give it away.
