I dont think the RB systems wear out with age/rust. Its all about how well the engine in front of it was running. If it was on a car that wasnt too lean or too rich id say its very valuable. Could sell it for at least 200 doll hairs imo, but thats nothing considering its an $1100 system today.

I paid $400.00 for a similar setup 2 years ago but it was in better shape (less rusty). I'd agree
with the $200.00 as is. If you strip the rust and repaint you could ask more but make sure you
let the buyer know its reconditioned somewhat.

Getting that car titled was a huge PITA. I was in Toledo car was picked up in Dayton. PO signed the title. I went to DMV you need it notarized. Mailed it back to PO. PO notarized it and sent it back. DMV PO didn't sign in a certain spot. Mailed back to PO. Ohio has to be the most difficult state to change ownership. Bought a car in Illinois. DMV=SOS here. Just a signature needed....

I bought an exhaust just as rusty as that one and used the electrolysis process. I put each of the exhaust components in a large bucket in your case large plastic tote, water, baking soda and a battery charger and left it over night on. Took all the rust away. Scrubbed the residue off and repainted it.... That exhaust to me is anywhere from $300-450 price range if you clean it....

I'd worry about water inside the presilencers. I had an RB center section that sat with water in it from a hood that was left off and water trickeled down through the carb for who knows how long. One presilencer was flooded. When I got it and took it for a drive, a great orange plume appeared. All the packing rusted away. 
The other presilencer shell was damaged from a driveshaft failure but the innards were ok.
I went ahead and repacked both and swapped in a new shell on both. This was to keep them sounding the same. The results were great!
These RB components, if treated right (like someone said above about the engine tuned right, no water ect), last forever. I even like the slant cut tips!!!

I would find some way to adapt it. I love the sound! I would Y off the downpipe and use it just for that sound and the clearance and snug fitment it has. Not like its restrictive... or as restrictive as the exhaust gasses slamming into an impeller...

Noob,
I love the sound when the wastegate opens.... Mine will not be routed back into the exhaust. You just hear the straight semi-unmuffled roar of a rotary!!! It's like it's about to start eating small children!!!!
Sorry couldn't help typing noob.
