I recently bought about the same car 1978 20,000 original miles but mine had a 1968 L88 transplant with a 5 speed. I paid 15k. If thats what he has is a transplant I think it really hurts the value. Mine is original paint interior started life as a L82 4 speed car and I have had the car minus engine advertised for 8500 and not much interest.
