In the vicinity of $15-20k depending on a whole bunch of things, but lets put it this way, they are easily worth more than a good OG oval.

$15k - $18k for a runner with struts, older resto, but still solid and rust free. I wouldn't pay $25k for one like the one in the link - that one is
top dollar. If it's mint as you say $17k $22k.
Lee - not sure where you got those figures from - Way off the mark, having sold my very good runner '76 Cab 3 years ago.
