The Ford Barn

Hello everyone,
I'm new to this forum and I'm new to these cars. I've always liked cars like this from when I saw the movie "Cobra" years ago, but my automotive knowledge lies with modern cars.
I ran accross this 49 Ford locally parked in someones yard. I decided to stop and talk to the owner to see if he was interested in selling. Here is what I know.

It's a 49 Ford with a 5.0 302 from an 86 Mustang, it is carbureted however. It has a C4 transmission and it runs and drives. The top has been chopped 4 inches. It has disc brakes on the front (drums still in the back). The door handles have been shaved so it has keyless entry. It has electric locks and windows. It also his heat and A/C. It has the original seats.
The body is straight, but it needs some work, sanding and a paint job. I found just a small mount of rust on the inner fender well. It needs quiet a bit of work, but it seems to be a solid foundation with the biggest obstacles out of the way.

I have no idea what these cars are worth. The guy said he would take $6,500.

Thanks in advance for any and all info!
