How much is a shell worth?

I was in my local yard the other day and was checking out an FB they've got. It's been stripped down to pretty much nothing. I was just wondering how much a relatively rust free shell is worth. The only rust I can find on it is in the wheel wells where the storage bins used to be. It's not that bad - easily repaired in my opinion.

I guess I'm just wondering what something like this usually goes for. As I recall the only things left are the doors, parts of the dash, storage bin bracing, rear drum rear end, and a couple of seats floating around inside. It's a hardtop, no hood, front valance, glass, engine/tranny, steering column, wheels, front suspension, or brakes.

This is purely out of curiosity - I have no interest in it. I have too many other automotive interests to pick up another FB, especially one in this state.

Its not worth takeing for free... you would be REALLY suprised what kind of deals you can come across if you just keep your eyes open... I am shure you could find someone with a 1st gen that has carbon lock for free-100 with a straight body if yah ask around...
