You could go $500 and make your money back parting it out if you decide it is beyond saving. But... at $300 you could make a little profit parting it out.

Honestly all the other stuff is nice but I would be asking one question - what's it going to take to make it drive?
Is the gas tank full of gas jelly or rust?
Do the important electrical bits still work?
Fuel pump, distributor, ignition switch & wiring?
Does the engine turn over? Does it have compression in all cylinders?
Is it mechanically complete?
Does it just need a battery and fresh gas?
If so and you can do a "rolling restore" (that's where you can drive it and fix one thing at a time) then it would be worth something.
Otherwise it's a parts donor.
Don't get me wrong, I have a parts donor that is feeding both my drivers and it's really great. I should thank my wife every day that she puts up with the thing.
(and me...)
Just my $.02

Don't forget supply and demand here folks, a decent car (even a slightly worse car) in the Northeast or Canada is generally going to go a little higher than the Northwest or the south - cause there's fewer of them.
definitely whether it is a runner or not is an important distinction.

I bought a 72 about like that for $700.00 and a clean title. I have so far installed inner,outer rockers,new floor,patched several rust holes replaced multiple pieces of the foot wells and it is still on jack stands with out an engine! I bought mine for the project and to learn to weld, I am actually pretty good at it now!
if you wish to actually drive one before you are 30 purchase one finished or driveable, better yet, invest that money in college and buy one to enjoy on the weekends after you graduate
