It's certainly not an oval window.

Looks like a 64 only deck lid that got run over. Depending on damage, rust, hinges etc $50-100. With bodywork over $100/hr its going to cost a lot to get that one back into shape.

Clean ones bring 600 - 1000

Damaged, bent and rusted ones 100-200 tops to the right buyer

Its too easy to build a nice one from a pair of late model vents grafted into a sedan lid than to spend too much money on reworking one.

Plus there is (or was) now a company that will punch correct convertible vents into Sedan lids.

ISP sells the vents alone for 45 bucks a pair as well
