Default 1950 Panhead

Curious how orignal this 1950 panhead is ? I know it has aftermarket heads and has had parts swapped out.

Bike doesn't currently have the tanks, seat or carb installed but it's there. Also found another set of tanks.

All and all appears to have period correct parts. What kind of value do you guys think ?

My dad picked it up in a deal. I'll have to drive back over there and see if the coating covered it up.

Assuming it runs, which it is supposedly rebuilt, what kind of value do you guys think? He is most likely going to sell it, I don't want it to be way under priced or way over priced.
