Is this early 70s Mopar Carb worth anything?

I don't normally dabble much with Mopar parts but while I was buying a Chevy distributor from a local hoarder I noticed a old Holley in a box on top of his massive junk pile so I grabbed that too. Here are some #s I took from the carb:

3614167
List 6253
3105

I was able to determine its a early 70s Mopar carb for a 383 or 440
#6253 (3614157 / 3621388) - R,W,P,D,C 440HP Automatic

Anyone have any idea on the value?
Thanks

Probably not worth using unless you are capable of rebushing the throttle plate shaft.
I think a concourse restorer would cherish it but with today's tech advancements and
R&D most people would prfer the "latest and greatest" from the likes of Holley, Quick
Flow and Edelbrock.

Most of the Holley's used on the 440's were junk

Ebay it ...the right restorer will buy it.
if the carb is new in the box just old with dust and sitting on top a shelf for thirty + years could get you $200 $300 maybe
if its old and used maybe $50..$150
my brother runs on his 440 of all carbs is a Q-jet off a 500 c.i. Caddy when he eventualy swaps it he will go the latest and greatest.
