I'd say $1000 with condition unknown. Look up the parts and charge less.

Suspect the value may be much less. The body doesn't rot all by itself. While it may still be possible to get the K-pump overhauled, those that can do so are few and far between, and parts are becoming scarce. Now if it was a six-cylinder injection pump that would be quite another story!
Many other options exist for getting the same or better power than the Kpump. Now you can install a variety of other injecton options and do quite nicely, back in the day is was pretty much carbs/pistons/cam/header.
FWIW I've had both a real clean '72 and fair '74, both sold, both crashed out by those I sold them to.

Hard to say based on your description. Rusty but how is the rest? What year? Big or small bumpers, holes in the door panels, dash condition, stock mechanicals, seats, wheels? Return price can vary a lot depending on these things. Tii specific parts are limited... engine, airbox, front spindles/struts, rear control arms, dash clock, wheels (if early version), fuel pump, other small stuff, but the other 02 parts have some value too if their decent.

shoot a video of the engine running
As with any engine, the value of the engine will be much higher if you can document it running before you take it out. Shoot a video of the engine running, shoot a video of yourself doing a compression check. This documentation is worth its weight in gold. Without it, the engine is in completely unknown condition and, regardless of it being a tii engine with the Kugelfischer pump and manifold and linkage on it, isn't worth much. It also depends on the physical and visual condition of the engine and associated parts. If everything is pretty and zinc-plated and the engine is documented as running strong, it could be worth several thousand dollars, but if the car is rusty, I doubt the engine is in eat-off-it condition. If the engine runs poorly and belches smoke and has low or uneven compression, the fact that it's a tii won't matter much; it may only be worth a few hundred bucks. If the condition is somewhere in between, it's worth something in between.
The Kugelfischer pump by itself isn't worth as much as you'd think if the condition is totally unknown. Getting a KFish pump rebuilt is between $1000 and $2000. Used pumps in unknown shape seem to go on eBay for maybe a few hundred bucks.
The tii front struts that take the bigger tii calipers, the bigger brake booster, and the boxed rear A-arms are also unique to the tii. If the rest of the car is rusty, though, the boxed rear A-arms may be in rough shape. I'm really hesitant to name an amount for any of these. Best guide is to look on eBay and see what they actually sell for (not what people are asking) by checking out completed listings.

That's good advice...
