I currently have 3 machines that fall into this category, all in much better shape than this one. 2 actually fly, 1 that has been upgraded and only needs instruments put back in or a glass panel installed, builders choice.
This appears to be to be an early EXEC , see body panels and doghouse, but has a elastomeric rotor system. No telling what engine it might have or the condition of same.
Blades? Symmetrical or asymmetrical condition of same.? the frame is older, which means it would have to have a couple of tubes added probably the landing gear is probably early early design so you will need to decide if you wanted to upgrade that. Some experienced roadway person would need to inspect this machine and determine its condition. They’re really isn’t a lot of stuff there that anyone that wanted to build an up-to-date machine could use I’d say a realistic value of that is between five and $10,000 probably closer to five..
If the thing had a good set of asymmetrical blades if would be worth much more. But that would need to be determined. A set of symmetrical blades that were at least hot glued , could be used and I’d put a value of maybe $5k on a set of those.
What engine it has and it condition along with blades , is the big things that determine value. Unfortunately engines condition is going to be very hard to know unless it’s locked up, which is a strong possibility.
