What do you think a reasonable price for the following would be.

PA28-180B (1963)
3700 tt
1880 smoh (runs fine with compression in mid or high 70's I believe)
800 stoh
mk-12D
ADF
Average Interior (maybe 5 or 6) serviceable but nothing great
Paint flaking off in many places. Will need to be repainted.
there are a few skins (left and right flaps and left stabilator/elevator)
that have either dents or small patches, and would therefore need to be
reskinned before painting.

Can you give me a rough ball park of what this would be worth? I know a lot
of Cherokee 180's sell in the $35-$40k range, but with both high time and a
need of a repaint and some other exterior cosmetic work, I don't know what
that does for the value.


It's one of the oldest models of the -180, so that'll put the
starting point on the lower end of the scale. The engine is a near
runout (for pricing purposes), which keeps it at the low end of the
scale. Bad paint and average interior don't help. Generally
speaking, the plane you're looking at should be priced close to the
bottom end of airworthy -180s. From what I've seen lately, that would
be in the mid-30K range.

Early -180s with low to mid-time engines and average paint and
interiors don't seem to be selling below $40K these days.

Just one guy's opinion,
