How much can my 1973 mustang grande could be sold for?

it has some rust on the lower parts of the body like the bottom of the doors, side panels, and quarter panels. it also has a vinyl top that has rusted from underneath. also one of the floor pans is rusted thru as well as the trunk floor. it needs a new roof but the interior isnt so bad. it has no inner leather door panels but the interior isnt so bad. it has the original motor with 158000 miles and i havent changed anything on it but the solenoid and the battery. everything works but the ignition sticks. everything is basically original. the hood has a little bit of rust too but very small. no leaks and the windows roll up fine. i just dont have time to fix it and need to sell it. i bought it for around $2000. give me an estimate of what you think its worth. all numbers match. all original

You did not mention what is the engine.



I had got a 1973 Mustang with the 250 cid 6 cyl for around $1200 for my Son as a project car when he turned 18, but it had a broken grill and some bodywork problems that had been bondoed or brazed and then rust coming up under the bondo, and apparently the rear window leaked like a sieve and the floor under the back seat was all rusted out.



After a series of mechanical problems we ended up just giving it to charity after rebuilding the brakes, engine and transmission and still not ending up with reliable transportation. It was about $1200 to acquire and about $1200 per year maintenance expenses.



Anyway, the value is largely influenced by options, particularly what sort of engine/transmission combo you have there. It might still be worth around $2K or so.
