Will be a cool car once it's gone through, but that is an expensive barn find! Actually, I'm amazed you can still find a Shelby that's been stashed away like that.
That thing really is in rough shape and it is incomplete as well. Plenty of rot, rust, body work, missing parts, wrong block....
I'd say maybe worth about 3k.
I would clean it up and get it in good mechanical condition and just drive it as is and forget about the restoration. I know they are worth a lot of money but
to get that car perfect you are looking at 10's of thousands of dollars especially if you cannot do the work yourself. This is a very labor intensive project.

Sounds like someone is interested....
Playing the old tricky Ricky route eh? "So how much is this $3k car gonna cost me?"

You can build very close approximation for the price of a new corolla.
Engines and trans are cheap - even big blocks.
its all them the lil' bits that get ya.
I want to build a 1973 Satellite Sebring with mild 360V8 and the old syracuse a-833 4 gear O.D.
Should be a good driver and there are parts as its similar to the charger and roadrunner
