Mark,
What it is worth depends on what you are willing to pay for it. If you are looking for a concours car, this is not it as the original motor is now gone. A nice summer driver, again, think about where you live and the lack of AC and just how hot that 428CJ will get. As for it being a 9 out of 10, are you really sure about that estimation? Did you really give the car a thorough inspection, check under the dash at the cowl hats, look at the trunk drop offs and lower rear quarters both inside and out? What about the tops of the inner fender panels? Do you smell a whiff of
antifreeze in the interior after the car has run for a few minutes? Again I'm not trying to bust balls here, just bring you back to the 9 out of 10 estimation and what it is based on..... Price wise, for a car sitting in Florida without factory AC installed, a non original engine, but 100% rust free with original sheetmetal and an interior that is "as new", chrome that is perfect, and everything else as it should be, in the current market anywhere from $18,000-$24,000. Again, not trying to bust your balls, but one persons "ground up restoration" vs another is like comparing apples to oranges, ask to see the photos of the restoration and make sure to look at everything, as contrary to popular belief, cars in California can and sometimes do have rust problems.......
Hope you find this helpful.

PS: Do a search of the forum, as there was another potential buyer looking at a car very similar to yours about 4-6 months ago. Posted pictures as well as a greater description of the car, might be the same seller still trying to unload (I think he was asking 32K, which even then was reaching for a non conours, 100% restored and original, show detailed car)....
