Sorry, I don't understand the question. Do you want to know what the '78 T/A is worth on it's own? If so, we need many details. It really looks 'rough' in the photo. A running 350 that needs a 'tune up' isn't enough to describe the entire car. We will be glad to help but you need to fill in as many blanks as you can please. If the interior is as 'rough' as the exterior appears, the car will be worth very little. There are many '78 T/A bodies still available for complete restorations.

Well I'm sorry. Car is a project car, is not a daily driver. Interior needs work, has a few tears on the seats. Stock suspension, so that needs to be upgraded. Unknown miles. Rust free. That's all I can think off.
It sounds like it needs a full restoration. I really do not see you getting a whole lot out of it, maybe $1500 on a good day. The market is saturated with cars right now and most of them are not selling quickly at all unless they are rare or otherwise desirable. You have nothing to lose by putting it up for sale and seeing what happens. Good luck.

Thanks O2sscamaro. OK, I see these '78 T/A's selling in the $2,000 area usually when they need a major restoration. No rust and a straight body are certainly good selling points. You can always ask a bit more than $2,000 to allow for negotiations. If no bites or interest, just start lowering the price a little until you hit that 'sweet spot' when the phone starts ringing and buyers show interest. GLWS!!
