Prices will varry from $250 to $1500 for unrestored DC's. I am rebuilding 4 right now, and even the one that was "Mechanically Perfect" needed many transmission bearings etc. Some things to consider: 1) Is it a foot clutch? If so parts are very expensive and hard to find, but it is worth more when running. 2) How well does it run? Burning oil? Bubbles in the radiator? Water in the oil? Cracked block? Check the plugs to see if they look fouled. Remember just the parts for an overhaul will run $800, ++ if your rod bearings are gone. 3) Is it a DC-3 or DC-4, 4's tend to be worth a little more. 4) Does it have live PTO and Eagle Hitch? They make it worth more. 5) How are the fenders? New ones run about $400. 6) Clutch parts and labor will be expensive, so discount accordingly. 7) Tires and rims?? They will set you back close to $1000 if they are all bad. 8) How sloppy are the bushings? The flip flop in the clutch handle, the slop in the steering tell you a lot about how much use it has seen. 9) Join the club! We need more Case collectors! LOL!
