What someone will pay can vary alot these days.  Looks to need quite a bit of work.

If I were looking that would probably be around the  $7,500 to $10,000 ranges.
 

You probably are not going to like my advise. Unless you are a skilled welder, body man, mechanic, or have lots of money to pay to have the work done you are better off buying a finished or nearly finished car. The cost to restore these cars is far more than what they sell for. So many people buy cars, dump a ton into them and end up trying to sell them (at a loss) when they realize they have lost interest or can't afford to finish them.

I have restored many cars in that condition... but my advice is unless it has a high value vin number or you can grab  it for a great price under 5K,or you are some what skilled in the art of welding and body work and really want a 67 fast back,then buy it.... Personally, I would consider a new  Dynacorn body and build it from there....jj 

I agree w/others, this car needs a lot of work and is not a project to "learn" on, unless there is something special about it.  You need to have body shop skills to attack a project like this.
I'd start by pricing out the sheetmetal needed and realistically establishing a budget, and go from there.
I say offer $1k to "take it off their hands".

My experience is that the rust you see pales in comparison to the rust you don't.  Things like framrails rot from the inside out, so you can look at what appears to be solid metal and find it crumbling in your hand when you go to work on it.  If you're serious I would go over every inch of it with a ice pick and verify what's solid and what's not.

Even if the rest of the car is solid, as everyone else has advised, this is going to be a lot of work in sheetmetal alone before you spend dollar one on anything else.  A lot of what needs to be replaced is not what I would consider beginner bodywork.  Floorpans are relatively easy, but hanging a quarter, etc. are a lot more difficult.  If you opt to do it yourself we're talking years of work given the schedule most of us have with work, kids, etc.  We're also talking a lot of money, especially if the car is without drivetrain (the tranny crossmember sitting on the tunnel is not a good sign).  Burn out on projects this involved tend to be high, and you can always buy someone else's half completed project that's a lot farther along for pennies on the dollar, but you also need to know what you're looking at getting involved in a project like that. 

Resale should be low on the consideration list.  Most likely you are going to have a lot more in it than its worth when you're done.  For a well done '67 fastback the sky is almost the limit.  A decent one will easily sell in the $25-$30k range, and a very well done one could go for a lot more.  Pedigree also helps, so if its and original 390 4speed GT with rare options it will appeal to collectors as well as the average Baby Boomer who just wants the car from Bullit.  But, in '67 there were no 428 cars yet, no Bosses or Machs, so unless its a Shelby (and its not) rarity and collectability are all relative. 

IMO you'll always be bucks ahead buying a car with the best body you can afford and going from there.  I'd much rather rebuild and engine or tranny than rip out a floorpan.  But anyway you go there's a lot of guys here who can and will help. 

From my many years of experience, both good and bad...

That car will need years of work to get it back together, unless you just have an unlimited amount of money.  That said, if you do it yourself, you will have a Chinese sheetmetal car with parts that almost fit, and you will work on it every weekend while listening to your neighbors having parties out by their pool, and miss out on alot of fun.

The advice is to figure what you might put into that one in parts and work, then add that to what you would pay for it and maybe even finance a little more, buy one already completed that was not a rustbucket, enjoy life in the meantime in your neighbor's pool and car shows and Bash cruises, and just make the monthly payments.  You are going to spend the money on that turd anyway, why not jut buy a nice one?

There is a 67 GT500 Clone on craigslist righ now (listed in Dallas but car in Las Vegas).  Has big block with all the right stuff and appears that the clone job was done many years ago when you could actually find Shelby parts.  It all looks correct and work appears good.  He wants $45k, and you can drive it home.  That is way less than you would spend converting that fastback to one of those silly fad Eleanors.

I bought this car with good floors and quarters and 3 body shops and a boat-load of money and 13 + years later I was finally driving it.  So unless you have the required body work and mechanical skills, I would pass and buy one already done.  That kid in the pic is now 19.

Rick, nice work!  Hate to totally hijack the thread but what color is your car?  Seems very similar to a Chrysler Patriot Blue that I used on another car.

GM (sorry) Color - Dark Ming Blue Metallic  WA722J

And my wallet did most of the work!
 

Sometimes fear is useful.  Especially if it led him to run screraming from that heap!

If it had a clean title I'd buy it and roll the dice with one of the new bodies out there.  But, yeah, its not worth much.  The seller will probably find some shlub to pay waaaaaay too much for it.  One born every minute, and they all seem to browse eBay motors...
