There is the body, complete roller frame, all wiring, gauges, all interior, lites, all chrome parts, nudge bars and overriders,roll bar, side pipes. The engine is a high performance 427 but needs to be rebuilt. The top loader looks to have been rebuilt. The body is primed but not painted. Any help so she can sell it would be appreciated. Everything is in one place in San Jose, CA.
Is the chassis a coil spring or torsion bar set up?
Watts link rear end, or standard Contemporary/Jag set up?
Which gauges, Smith's or Stewart Warner?
Options: IE: heater, wipers, top and side curtains?
What about the engine, what details are know? Sideoiler?
Casting numbers for block, heads, intake, carbs at the very least.

As a ballpark:
A low of as it sits $8,000
A high as it sits of $18,000

Which it is closer to really depends on the hard and cold details.

Pictures as it sits might help as well
