I've got the same deal, but the car is a 69 Charger.
He man, where are all the ads?

I'm gonna guess you might be able to steal it for $10k.

Are you being serious?

You might ask the owner for permission to throw a tarp over it and pour some old crankcase oil over the rusty parts.  Maybe make some points that way, and who knows, if you end up getting it, it might be in a little bit better shape for your efforts.

I was interested in an old original like that a few years ago, but the feedback I got was that in general almost all the old frames are too rusted to use with a high performance motor and I'd be better off buying a new steel repro.  Don't know if there's any truth to that.

he says if the owner doesn't know what he has you might get it for 5-6k

Hmm.  It's definitely not worth that to me.

It's just steel after all.

See what a great deal you got on the 750?   ;D

Yeah, but this car buried in the woods hasn't tried to kill me twice before I've ridden it. ;D

Totally.

But Mother's info is  better.

I'd say Mom's estimate is pretty close. Not many steel 5-window Deuces left in the rough you know.

Should give you a good idea on what you are getting into.
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.
