Not particularly desirable year and the prices are depressed for that reason. Should be a 22 series. Deluxe and customs are higher than a standard.
You can look at CAAAR or Hagertys for the price guides.
I guess it's how bad you want a car that you'll pour money into and it won't be worth much more later? A pristine unmolested original would bring maybe $20 range. Has to be a convertible to bring much. Don't get me wrong they're great cars, but this company went out of business for making cars like that.
I'll be catching it for this post...
The chrome is what will set you back, so if it's good, it's a bargain. You can sell the chrome for more than that.
