Just a week ago, a nationally advertised one, in the hands of a private owner, with complete top bows, and winch, and all seats, unrestored original, went for $6500. It didn't run well, but that is not a problem if you are a good engine man. Vintage Power Wagons has several at different times, and they go for $3500 and up. There is one here on Joe's site in fairly decent shape, without winch, which no one has picked up for $2500. I know of several asking $15,000 and up. Personally, I think you have an advantage in having it apart- that's how it'd wind up eventually if I had it- that is the only good way to restore these things. I agree with CPT Winget- start at $1500 to $2500, and work up. I'd get them to set a price first, though. You might be pleasantly surprised. Good luck, as I think these are really worth having.
