USBAJS, I'm sure most of the guys are much more knowledgeable than me, but this one could have possibilities for 10K . . . .
What does the VIN say? First 6 characters should read 242370 for a HT.
Does info on data plate match the VIN?
Check VIN number on engine (front of block, down low, right side next to timing cover). Should read 20XYYYYYY where X = plant and Y = last six numbers of VIN. Hopefully, it will match the VIN.
Check the cyl head code (S/B 13 for a 400) also check carb code (S/B 7040264) if it's the original QJet.
Check the date codes on the cyl heads, intake man, exhaust man, see if they match build date on data plate.
If all these numbers match, will add a lot of value.
AC adds value - are all the parts there (compressor brackets, hoses, condenser, etc.)? Some of these parts will be a pain to find . . .
What kind of condition is the sheet metal in? will it need extensive body work (besides paint)?
If the brakes, suspension, exhaust are rotten, these will cost $$$ to bring up to speed.
What does wiring look like? Any old, cracked, spliced etc. wiring? Could be a fire waiting to happen.
If you have time, try to post a couple of pictures.
A numbers-matching 70 HT with TH400 and AC could be worth up to 25K.
Good luck . . . .
