Default What is a good condition '67 400 worth?

What would a drivetrain out of a '67 Catalina be worth, 400 engine & trans? Assuming it all runs & shifts perfectly.

I'm not asking because I am trying to sell one, I'm asking because I'm considering buying a project car and want to justify my offering price. It's surface rusted all over, a few pinholes here and there (not super-bad), bad brake lines, dry-rotted tires, etc. etc.; Once I dig into it more deeply, it very well might be non-restorable, so I'm trying to mitigate my risk.

[Edit]It starts and runs smoothly, seems to have plenty of power, and I believe the transmission is shifting smoothly & instantly (not sloppy at all.) I think the drivetrain has 42K honest, original miles.[/Edit]

I'm hoping these days, considering becoming only more rare, the drivetrain alone would be worth at least 1500 or so, but maybe that's a bit high.

Thoughts?
