I paid $3,500 for my '65 fb initially (1997) and although the body was fairly good and lacked major rust, still required "rotisserie" restoration effort. The initial price isn't what costs, its the restoration that follows that gets expensive.
In respect to other examples, a friend of mine got $4,000 for his partly disassembled 1970 Mach I Cleveland 4v. It was a good rust free car he'd owned for 18 years but fell on hard times due to a nasty divorce and just couldn't afford to put it back together. Rather than let it rot in the back yard he sold it to someone wanting it - I should've bought it but had I, my wife would've divorced me!
