Ballpark valuation on a whizzer

On Training Wheels
I have an opportunity to purchase a whizzer from one of my friends dad’s estate and I need help establishing a fair market price. It appears to be a Chicago whizzer frame from the 50’s with an h motor from 47 or 48. It hasn’t been fired up in a few years and the tires are dry rotted, otherwise it appears to be all there. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here are some pics

Well first off that's not a whizzer frame I could tell by the indentations on the frame that you posted.. so that's going to greatly affect the value.. I would just add up the pieces and go .. it is a whizzer but it isn't a real whizzer....
 
Alot of the usual shortcuts you see on whizzer builds...cheapo incorrect front brake and brake lever, 60's bendix rear brake,
wrong saddle, sprocket is 80's era, paint is way off, it's a schwinn bike of unknown year with maybe a decent motor kit.
1000 range? Rarely do you see correctly built/restored whizzers....ebay is a comedy spectacle for shiny cobbled whizzers.
Might still be a fun bike, just don't get carried away with the $
 
valuations sound reasonable, nice to find one without searching, lot of fun for the money! be sure to let your friend ride it too.
