Dash And interior is complete, headliner and dash pad is ratty , need lower rear quarters and a rear floor patch

Well you got a pretty good looking washer tank, so that'll be worth $500 if you put a GT label on it... :rolleyes:

So take that as a starting point?

On this board you will find a ton of expertise. However asking for a cars value is a difficult thing to do.
Everyone´s got a different opinion on that.
If that car would be in A+ condition it would be worth somewhere between 15k to 20k at max.
Yours is a project that needs bodywork, mechanical work and replacement of a paisley vinyl top that´s
not being reproduced ( or is there now a place that reproduces paisley tops ? )
same might go for the seats if they´re shot.
So a car that needs a lot without being a high dollar car when perfect.

A plus is, that it seems to be unmolested and complete ( Gran Coupe not GranD was a rare option so if the trim is
missing, that would be a p.i.t.a to find ). If it´s running that´s a plus also.

Still to really determine it´s value some more infos would be required.
- how much bodywork is needed ?
- first paint or repaint ?
- pictures of the interior to figure what it needs

My opinion based on what I see is 4 grands. But that´s my 2 cents, there will be people on here talking about 1500$ ..

Yea I'm one for the 1/2k range and I'll bet the roof is rife with rot. It's a shame that someone didn't toss a vinyl top on it when it needed it even if it wasn't correct (black) to save the roof sheetmetal.
 
It really depends on the rust. Looking at the pictures, the wheelhouse moldings look straight, can't see any rust there. That's a good sign but in fact those pictures don't tell very much. If there's rust in the trunk there will be most likely rust a the rear window frame as well.

Rust in the rear floor, lower rear quarters and I’ll have to peel the rest of the vinyl off. The frame rails are nice. No rust in the trunk.
 
I agree with something in the neighborhood of a $4k value as long as the floors are not rotted out. If the floors and/or the roof skin is rotten, this is probably only a $1.5k car. These cars usually also have rust along the bottom of the rear window channel which is time consuming and expensive to repair. As noted, this car is going to need some extensive restoration to make it a $20k car and the cost of that will well exceed its likely value.. It would probably be more practical to put a new vinyl top on it and do the necessary rust repairs and use it as a classic driver.

Gotha, it's not a coupe it's a Grand Coupe.
A 2 door with a B-pillar that meets the roof is a coupe, a 2 door without the post to the roof is a hardtop. I could be wrong but this is how I think about it.

IMHO the coupe moniker on this model is strictly a Marketing gag. While you can have a coupe with pillars, the roofline has to be shorter than the one of the sedan. However the same Body style without the Gran Coupe appearance package was called the two door sedan in Plymouth sales literature of the day, nothing "couped" meaning cut and shortened on this Roof line.
But These days everything with two doors is considered a coupe.

Again, It is NOT a GranD Coupe, it is a Gran Coupe. That is the name of the car (basically a Fury III with special paisley top and interior). Doesn't matter if it has a B pillar or not (it does not), Plymouth named it Gran Coupe. That is what my car is and I found the paisley material for seats and top at SMS. I opted to use a black top which I had made specially at Legendary (they now offer it as a regular item in hardtop and fastback styles).
 
I would guess in the $4500-$5000 range if it runs good. Be careful with that loose fender rub strip insert (it is brown on the Gran Coupe - hard to find, and goes with the special Tahitian Brown (Bronze) paint on the Gran Coupe).
