the true problem with determining value is in the rust
and compaired to a modern car, most people in the world do not know how to truly evaluate the rust on these cars

they do not rust in visible locations..

pull the rocker covers on all of them
look at the longitudinals and jack points under the rocker cover
pull the batteries out and look with a flash light in the "hell holes"
jack the cars up and examine the suspension points closely
pull the seats and carpets and examine the floor pans
pull the rear trunk carpet and examine the seam under the taillight housings...


these are where the cars actually rust

a rusted shell is worth 500 as a parts car
a non rusted complete car is worth a lot more
