Pre-73 coupes in classic colors silver on black are hot ticket items right now, much better cars even then later version '75 and '76.

I just picked this one up for $450 on ebay. Needs a bit of work but I love the style. The 18" rims were put on with 100mm adapters.

Whatever you do, avoid RUST! If there's any rust at all underneath, IMHO you should walk away. My 76 300D is a beauty all around, but had some rust under the passenger side. After I took it home and took out the carpets, I found a hole big enough to put your arm through, plus a poor spot-welded repair job that had rusted over as well. Working on water pumps and testing fuses is one thing, but welding is a whole 'nother craft with it's own special tools, skills, and even dangers. I'll be trying to learn it soon so I can tackle my own rust problem, but I wish I'd known what I was getting into.

Ok ,so how much do you want for that, and who do I send the check or cash to?
You can keep the rims and spacers though. I like stock, or different style, deeper dished aftermarket rim. Just throw a set of baldies on it, and box it up, and send it.
