in very good condition. Anybody have an idea what a item like this =
would be worth?

Thanks,

Tim,

Thanks for the reply. Very good information. I was not really looking =
to sell. I will probably be loaning this to a local museum for display =
and wanted to get an idea of its value before I hand it over to them.

Depending on the model, anywhere from a hundred or so to several hundred, unrestored. A tough nut to crack is shipping. You can't exactly throw it in a padded envelope and drop it in the local mail.
So if you're looking to sell it's going to help if:

a) It's an unusual model (two or three door, ball-top)
or very early.

b) Great condition (no rust, few chips) and working.

c) Near a metropolitan area, or at least near someone who wants to buy it.

Fully restored monitor tops, as this style is called, can go for a couple thousand due to the sheer amount of labor that goes into the restoration. Check out:
