Says sold as of 8/15. If the seller got more than $5-$7000, I'd say take the money and run, that's about top-end value for a good running unrestored barn find rig, from all I've seen in my pile of Craigslist / eBay printouts going all the way back to 2005, with some bit of guessing about inflation in the interim time. This one was listed twice on eBay at a Buy it Now price ten bucks under $15 grand

This one has both, with the bowed in areas of the rear fender bottoms. The '77 model year roof on it is a sign for knowledgeable viewers that the original '76 roof probably blew off it years back, which might cause guys to wonder about how well the new roof & scissors lift was put on. And, anyone aiming for the "rare collector value" of these would be looking at the additional expense of reupholstering the seats back to factory showroom new vinyl coverings. The one advantage I see in this one over other barn finds is what looks like good polishable original paint, which would save a bundle in repainting.
However, there's two pricing ranges for these in the recent 5 or so years, the real world price that savvy buyers pay when they want to keep these, and the monkey wrench big dollar prices that classic car dealer/flippers seem to be getting from a very tiny handful of buyers with maybe unlimited money and no patience for doing any research on these. I'm thinking that very tiny niche market is close to being totally tapped out, but I could be wrong.
I first saw this one in pretty much its same current unrestored shape in an August 2010 ebay listing where it sold for $4500 to the broker buyer for the strange fellow in Indianapolis who also bought 12 others including my former Chalet #1747 along with a bunch of other carburetor 4x4s (the explanation for that owner was that he was loaded, and was anticipating some kind of apocalyptic situation where America's population would need to bug out to the countryside in vehicles that were simpler to fix …....… or something). Then the whole collection was liquidated over in Tennessee, and after that, the next appearance I saw of this rig was in a Feb 2019 White Bluff TN eBay sale with a "sold for" price of $10,500.
