Rebuilt carbs are just not that difficult to find and they usually aren't all that expensive. Without knowing why that one was removed from the vehicle it would probably need to be rebuilt and probably isn't worth much. I have a old boat engine with an unusual carburetor on it and even so I can still get a brand new one for $120 or a rebuilt one for $80 or the parts to rebuilt the one I have an know is basically good for $40.
So I'd guess $15-20 on eBay for yours.

List 6231 Holley Carb is most likely an very early 1970's Mopar, vacuum secondaries. Maybe 650 CFM
I can't find my List Number reference, but that number sticks in kmy head. Did your buddy ever own a motor home?
GM Wheels, probably Oldsmobile

Late model Olds rally wheels. Good eye BGR.
The early Olds rally wheels had the center caps held on from the back by some small screws. The caps wouldn't get lost or were easily stolen. Later model wheels had the center caps held on by spring clips. Those are missing the holes for the center caps. Small possibility they are from an early 80s Chevy Malibu, as Chevy had a very similar wheel to the late model Olds wheel in the '78-83 time frame. The black around the cut-outs is actually primer. They originally had some stainless steel trim pieces surrounding the holes, with clips that were bent around behind the backside to hold them on.
If it is really important, I can look it up in a book I have later today. I believe it has line drawings of many of the GM wheels.
Almost all early 70s Mopars came stock with Carter AVS 4 bbls AFAIK. Some of the HiPo models used Holleys though (magnum motors or 6 packs). Holley replacement carb to replace an AVS is a possibility though.
0043 may be a date code for 43rd week of 1970.

making breakfast while cleaning the carb, are we? ;-
if you want to clean it up, go to a Yamaha motorcycle dealer and buy a quart of Yamaha Carb Cleaner. Mix with gas, follow directions. New carb.

Ah, a -3 RB motor. that explains the Holley on a '70s Mopar. Later on they used non-emmisions Thermoquads. I have an 850 TQ from a motorhome.
