Value is all in the eye of the beholder. Just remember cars nickle and dime you a lot! My buddy picked up a '50 Chev P/U for about $8500 and after working on it a few years, he has around $22,000 in it and it still needs body and paint.

Sounds like the front end is very scary. I can see the frame has been "c'ed" for the rearend, so it is safe to say the work there is probably going to need to be redone as well. Check out what it will cost to repair everything that is obvious and then add at least $2000 more for all the incidentals that come up after tearing into it.
