I know it is worth what someone will pay for it.  Just trying to get an idea on everyones opinion before I put it up for sale.  Purchase the car in 2003 for parts.  I have taken everything off that I can use.  It would come with fender tag/dash tag/numbers on the trunk lip/ and the rad cross member.  The rad cross member was cut out by the previous owner but I do have the part with all number on it.  I found what was left of a build sheet under the seat (not much, mice got to it).
The fender tag reads:
abcdefghjkmnpqrtuwy
64            6
ABCDEFGHJKLMNOPRSTVWXYZ
                           2          6
12345678   AX  TRM  PNT  UBS
50      B    48   C6X  AA1  B  9
XS29  83  5  46   XXX XXXXXX

True RT minus everything.  The only parts worth anything are the center hump, roof,and rear speaker tray.  I just have no use for the thing and it would look better in s some other mopar grave yard.  I really think this thing is way past restoring. I will try and add a few photos of the old thing

My photos are to large and will not let me load.  I will try and fix it (not a good computer person).  Forgot to mention that I do have a title for the car.  I never put the title in my name because I had no plans on restoring the car and didn't want to change it to a non highway title.  I had a trooper friend years ago run the numbers and it came back clean. It is signed but not dated by the previous owner.

I'd think it would be worth around $500 or $600 maybe. I'd love to have it as yard art.

what is that bracket on the inner fender?

:scope:   Hmm, that's odd for sure. I wonder if it was a movie car of some sort. Maybe a camera mount? And yellow at one time to boot...

Unfortunately this car is shot.   Your talking about $5k in metal alone is needed (no labor).   I have about $3k in metal alone in my car with buying the doors and hood off of some great members on this site. :2thumbs:   Rear quarters, floors, rocker panels, front valance.....  The car above needs a hell of a lot more.   

Keep looking!!!!

Not much metal left to scrap on the old thing, :shruggy:  I have always been curious about that bracket as well.  Thanks for everyones opinions.  I also want to thank Dans 68 for posting up the pics.

Perfect candidate as an organ donor.  :yesnod:

Please DON'T scrap it!! From the looks of it, there's still LOTS of usable parts on it: rails, fender aprons, cowl, bumper brackets, console brackets/trans tunnel, firewall, etc etc.
I'd much rather see it fall victim to Mr. Sawzall than Mrs. Crusher any day. At least it will go on to preserve others in need.

I hope you are just stirring the pot a bit...re-bodies are not just a :badidea:, but they are contrary to the law. Better to just keep the tags as a souvenir.

Yikes...

Id say the only thing its got going for it is the fact that its an AA1 silver car. Other than that Im hard pressed to even value the metal on it with so much available from AMD.

Nothing worth while left on that carcass, other than the tags for a clean roller to start a fresh build,.......$300-$500 tops for the tags/vin/title

You'd need the patience of a saint and Donald Trumps wallet to try and restore that..  :buff:

You would have to pay me to haul it away.   But it's probably worth the numbers quoted above.
