Welcome. Looks like a nice car. "No rust". Ok.... have you laid eyes on the car, and the undercarriage ? Please do so before assuming a supposed condition.
The documentation and body stamps are more important. Don't let superficial, insignificant minor trim details steer you. Besides factory missteps, people used to do their own "customization" on their cars back in the day. Example: ooh, I like those fender lamps, can you put a set on my car ...
I believe the separate bolt pattern wheels were discontinued long ago. I have a pair from the early 70's, but another pair afterward were only available unilug. Not a problem.
Simply stated, there are too many variables (see above posts ) to really offer a reasonable value. A comprehensive, detailed description would be required to get "in the ballpark" .
I'd give that car a serious look, if it's relatively solid, it would be another car for me to play with. Now, what route ? Hemi Satellite clone ? Magnum 360 ? modern hemi ? Those would be my thoughts, whichever $$ and intent is a personal choice.
Never,ever try to do that job without the UCA in the car. I've used pipes like dasbee's photo to get arms out, back in the day ! Now ? Got a pair of tubulars from PST, slapped them in, got good positive caster.... NEXT ?
Oh, I know, you're absolutely correct. My point is, back in these cars "primetime" NOBODY left those wheels on their car. In our garage, the first thing everyone did was swap them for mags. We would chuck them in the metal scrap container by the dozens.
The truth is, those wheels you got were thrown out as fast as one was able to do. Cragar SS, Torq-thrust, Ansen slots, Keystone classics, chrome reverse, etc, etc. whatever piqued your taste. Back in the day, driving with those wheels was almost as bad as driving a 4-door.
