Value of a 69 RS/SS

[daleone3]

I talked to a friend of a friend today that was doing work (mechanical) on a 69 RS/SS and the customer left if sit there in garage for three years....well he wants his money and she does not want the car any longer so he is going to get the car for very short money and wants to roll out of it fairly quickly. Car is orange with black strips, starting to bubble a bit in several spots but no horrible rust issues yet. Interior is black/buckets, believe it is an automatic and is in very good shape. She supposedly paid $17k for the car about five years ago and the mechanic claims it is a real ss/rs but does not think the motor is original. I know it is hard to say without a pic but I have seen the car and would put it on par with a respectable driver but in need of some body and probably a bit of mechanical work right now but certainly in need of paint at some point.
what would be a range on something like this that you would see as fair and also, how does one determine the trim/model RS/SS; trim tag....what do I need to see for codes?

Thanks in advance.
