I just paid 1800 for a 56 with one ford engine and one transmission. lots of extra parts and a radiator that doubles as a sprinkler.
I stumbled across this one so did not do any shopping around. I guess value depends on what you think its worth and what you want from it.
I simply estimated what it would take in parts, counted my labor as free since I enjoy working on vehicles then decided if the finished project was worth the money to me.
