Recently discovered,, a un-touched all there 70 mach one that has been sitting for years in a lean-to garage. The grandson of the owner decided to get it running and it bent a valve. I hope to have the car for sale once the heads are redone. Can anyone give me an idea of its value??? It has solid floors and the main rust is in the rear drop panels and trunk. Sorry no pics yet but maybe after i get it picked up this weekend.

A survivor is usually a good original condition car with either no rust or only minor surface rust.

Did you buy this thing just to resell it? Why not keep it?
I believe a survivor is a car that is also a car that has all its parts and someone has not pulled the motors, stole the driving lights or even the 3;50 factory traction lock rear ends.... This car is rusty but after a close evaluation it is definetly a restorable automobile. The trunk is rusty but floors look good. It is a 351 car.
 
Well, since there are way to many variables unaccounted for like tranny, place of origin, current location, options list, etc....one can only venture a guess, so I'll say between 5 and 10k. If you are looking for something more specific than you need to give us more specifics, plain and simple.

I can't help but get the feeling from your post though that you think you have stumbled across gold or something that the current owner thinks is brass, and honestly, that does not happen very often these days. In fact, usually quite the opposite an owner thinks their rust bucket is worth the same as a show car. If a deal seems to good to be true likely it is and you won't be lining your pockets with cash from a quick turn around.
