Have to agree with Mr. Carl. unless it's $100 or less & close to home ain't worth "Jack Sh(t " without the frame!!! Fenders & doors may sell [ if any good] but is it worth the hassle of dragging the hulk home????

check for the dash with the bulge and see if the steering column has a extra lever to bend the column and take a pictures of the tach and guages and console
What should I be looking for Carl.Im not familiar with them?
I would look for any power options, seat, antenna, windows, trunk etc. Also as mentioned, a/c, tilt, speedometer with oil pressure and temperature gauge, stuff like that.
Pictures would be great if you are unsure.

.....very slim chance but the 2+2 was a Catalina, so see if the rear quarters have the louvers ( I want them !! ) . Check the headlight bezels , no pitting is hard to find. Look if the top motor and cylinders are there . Dash switches for top, maybe rear speaker, reverb ? am/fm radio . power vent windows . fender skirts , back up lights that aren't pitted up. There can be alot of little parts on the car well worth it.
For a hundred bucks I'd take it, as long as you have a cheap way of getting it home. You should even get a few bucks for the leftover scrap. As said, all the little parts add up ... even the automotive fasteners, clips, etc.
