With no rust, original paint and a RWC I would say in my opinion they could be worth up to $5000

Rusty and no RWC they would probably be less than $1000.

Thanks to splitty owners chopping them for parts, increasingly more. When the current fashion for splits wanes, 69s to 71s will become the vogue. Oh yeah, I love an appreciating motor vehicle.

I think it's already happening, just the people after one have no money to spend.

...early bay above...

Well, actually, that's a caricature of a *late* bay above... but that's OK, it only helps to 'illustrate' how hollow all this business of early bays being somehow more valuable or desirable than lates is. Early bays are of special value to people who get off on over-stressed engines and drum brakes.

Early bay production, what 3 years. Splitties, over 15 years. It won't happen over night, but ...
