Logically? about $6,500- $9,000 top end of the spectrum. Mind, although it's an eight it's still a 4 door "cheesebox" as we say. Most Mopars of that vintage have extremely solid bodies and engines but suffer from terminally ratty interiors and this "as found" condition is reflected in the comparatively low prices these monuments of durability sell for.

Undervalued I know. But compared to the somewhat overpriced {in my opinion} Buick and Pontiac of that vintage, these mopars are considered boring but these are a helluva bargain and some of the most solid, dependable and well engineered vehicles of their time...or these for that matter. I still have my 52 Saratoga with 216,000 on the clock....only a new timing chain in the 331 hemi and new suspension bushings and shocks. Why not keep it? hell, it's cheap to insure as a classic and you can get interior kits, seat covers, original fabric padded dash rebuild etc. as you can afford it.
