67 427 Biscayne value

[DM69SS]

I know it's impossible without seeing the car, but I have found the 427 Biscayne that my father used to own. It took about 3 years of tracking down from his old title stub. The original drivetrain was long gone before he had it. It is Dark Blue with a Black interior (from the factory that way). It was a 4 speed car. It has been redone. It was a drag car from day 1 and only had 4,000 miles on it when he bought it. It had to be quartered though as it had the fenderwells opened up. He bought it when it was raced SuperStock, pulled the drivetrain out, and sold the shell.

I know there are a few fullsize guys that frequent this board. Can you give me a rough guess on what the body is worth? The original owner threw a rod at about 7,000 in 69 and destroyed the engine and sent it to the junkyard, so it "shouldn't" have it's original engine. Unless it has been redone with a ce block #'s type restoration, I can put a value on the drivetrain.

My father is gearing up for retirement and I'd really like to suprise him with this car. He always regretted selling it as he has wanted a "Sleeper" ever since.

Thanks to anyone who can help out. I want to have a starting point when I go talk to the owner as it isn't for sale. It's easy enough to find out what a #'s restoration is worth, but the value of a 427 car missing it's original drivetrain is a bit out of my realm.
