A 1275cc crank and rods are probably worth US$250 maybe a lot more so be
sure you get a realistic value for the car.
However, its a pity you can't have an OSHIT to get the car back on the
road.

I've had this 1973 project car for about 4 years but I've been without
an income for the past few years and won't be able to complete it
anytime soon.
This car was given to my father by one of his customers and sat behind
his shop for awhile. The previous owner said that the car was running
when they stopped driving it. I brought it home and started working on it.
The car was complete when I got it except for a battery. Belts, hoses,
tires, exhaust, folding top cloth and seat upholstery are in bad
condition. I had the wheels sandblasted and repainted, and bought new
tires and tubes. I bought another pair of seats that had good
upholstery, some replacement carpet pieces and some spare tailights and
such. I took a lot of photographs of my disassembly so I could get the
wires and linkages and so forth back in place. The photos dont show the
hood but I have the hood and grille inside my house.
I discovered that the engine would not rotate so I eventually pulled the
engine out and disassembled it. I found water on top of a couple of the
pistons and they were frozen in the cylinders. My plan was to either
bore the block and buy oversize rings and pistons, or find another block
and buy new standard pistons.
The car is in my garage in Dallas. Email me off list if you have
questions or want more information or photos. I don't know what a proper
price is but I'll start at $500 OBRO.
