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.
