I, personally, would put it at $5000 running, $3000 not. Sounds like a basket case. There a probably plenty of missing odds and ends and little bits all over the place.

It would be a headache (make that migraine) for someone going into the project expecting to have a running car by the end of the summer. It could be a fun project for someone with the time and talent (and funds) to go over all of the previous owner's work. I'm sure he'll tell you there is just one little thing that needs to be done to get it running, and in his mind he is right. The problem with projects like this is there are dozens and dozens of "one little things".
