I need to get a reasonable range of value for this car as I will be looking to sell soon.

It was produced before the x designation was used on the body plate ID: Sept 1968 Model code 12437 NOR body sequence 103928
Interior trim code: 711 Frost Green Blk Vinyl top     

It has a Muncie 4 speed, not the rock crusher, Hurst shifter transmission #3925660 It does not appear to have had a spoiler. It has 4 wheel disk brakes,dual exhaust, seats, 5 leaf spring, 12 bolt rear end. I think it is a SS car, don't know about being a Z28 or not. The engine is small block I think. The hood has twin vent stacks either side of centerline. Condition: Front and engine compartment area was removed of most items, except for the front frame & wheels. Gauges off, dash taken down to skeleton. It has door panels, back glass, one side glass other may be inside door. Vinyl top is in good condition. No rust around back glass/trunk area. Floor panels are gone unsure about trunk floor as it is full as is the interior and the doors haven't been opened.
It been dismantled somewhat and I find some things as I go through the garage, engine, hood, transmission. The body back of the firewall is on the car.

I could use some guidance for pricing. Also, I have some pics. Thank you

No simple solution found, short of court award approach which seems to be the next step. I will relist what I know about the car in a repost. I have some pics available. Can you/anyone help determine a reasonable value for this project. I am wishing to sell ultimately, as I admire the car, but I am not a car project person. I appreciate all the prior suggestions and thanks to all who posted. Look for the repost please.

As I was told, but this may be in error, the storage business must be a legitamate business. An individual could not apply this method to lien the car. Do you think anyone may charge for storage?

I have talked with a few attorneys who where not familiar with this process and had not heard of it before. Since the owners are passed on, I was planning to go to court 'pro se' as there is no defendant. Regarding abandoned status, that is used by law enforcement to direct a vehicle to destruction. A mechanic lien is applicable only if you have a signed repair work order from the owner. A storage lien applied only if you have a licensed storage facility. The real estate deal makes no legal reference to contents or personal property as it was an auction. I have worked on this along period of time to find several dead ends. At this point, it appears a suit is the only method I can persue. The trouble is finding the needle in the haystack-someone who has done this and knows the case format I may follow. I hope someone will read this who knows and can help me. Thank you all for the ideas  posted; thusfar, those noted aren't possible solutions I have been told. Any help is appreciated. dc P.S. I am going to look at the title link now and thank you.

The owners of this car passed 10 years ago and the car was inside the garage when I bought the home. Has anyone ever filed a suit to ask a judge to award a vehicle to them? TXDOT will accept this result and then issue a new clean title, but the county court offers no help with filing a case. Anyone familiar with such a suit who can help me? I am thinking I should get it titled prior to selling it if at all possible. Any help is greatly appreciated. thanks for reading this. dc
