Not going to have time....

[mikeprause]

Hello all!  I have had a number of projects ahead of my grandmother's 1987 Eagle station wagon I inherited and I'm worried I'm not going to have the time or the funds to do it justice.  I am willing to let it go to a good home.  As it happens I have someone interested in it, but have no idea a fair price to ask. I was hoping I could get an idea from some of the experts!

Body is in great shape, no major rust and never driven in winter. 35,000 original miles, good paint and no real digs or dents.  Some of the bad news: engine turns over but mice have eaten the main wiring harness and have had a lot of activity on the inside (leather seats have staining, etc!) some of the molding on the outside also has chew marks.  I have acquired a donor car for the wiring harness and other bits and bobs I might need-- lots of goodies on that car for people restoring an Eagle.

Any help or direction or an idea what it might be worth to someone restoring these cars would be much appreciated!

Many thanks!
Mike

It’s really hard to give a ball park figure on non running cars. Good paint on a straight and solid body is a plus. It’s a wagon, which is the most common body and there’s lots of ones out there ready to go for 4-10k, depending on condition.
Being that this car needs the interior cleaned, carpet probably replaced, the wiring harness replaced, and I bet it has some rust in the floors because of the acidity of the mouse pee, I think you’re looking at $2000 as a fair price.
