Default 72 f100

My mother in law has a 72 f100. It stock, red, 360, 2wd, lwb, style side with 26k. Truck has been garage kept and covered with a tarp for 30 years. Body is rust free havent tried to statt it yet. She's had multiple people asking about it but we have no idea what its worth. What are value ranges on something like this? Any help is appreciated

No pics so we don't know what it looks like being under a tarp for 30 years.Not worth much if it doesn't run. Get it running first then worry about its worth.

They are worth what you can get out of them (start big)
Certainly, worth more money running and out from under the tarp and all cleaned up
I'd sure check the valve springs once you get it up and running
I'd also find some leaded fuel for it or a substitute for the first tank you run through it
That low mile 360 could be a liability not a bonus at this point
You get it re broke in decent and everything will be fine
You check your hotrod fuel supply around you
I can buy 130 octane leaded Sunoco just a few miles from my house, course it was 7.50 a gallon before Iran
You don't need high octane, just lead for the valves would be nice for some break in, and I'd have that good gas in it when you go to sell it

If it was parked on a lower level on dirt, there will be rot.

It on wood floor. Theres a bay under it. I cant see any rot or rust on it. Gotta get it on dollies to get it out to get a good look at the other side. Haven't tried to start it. Looking for the keys and need to get a battery first.

Time capsule right there, west coast mirrors and a gun rack.

Looks really nice.

Manual or auto trans?

I learned to drive stick on a 73 F250, 4wd, 360.
