Yes Dave,
I had a pristine perfect 76 that i sold for $5k also. Struggled to get that and i doubt that I would get $5k these days for it.
This one is pretty rough, if you want a perfect one and $ are an issue- then buy one thats already restored, on the other hand if you are looking for a barn fresh look then this would probably be a good thing. still think $1500 tops
