I'm considering buying a 73 el camino ss, but I need help in deciding what to offer.  Here are the cars specs:

-Guy claims when he bought it, he drove it home and everything worked beautifully
-car has been sitting for 3 years and only runs if you pour gas in the carb
-new 670 holley carb
-new fuel pump and hoses
-new jegs dual exhaust
-4:56 rear end
-aluminum intake
-headers
-was a manual, is now and automatic with a B&M shifter
-Needs new dash, and interior is in rough shape
-dented oil pan, but comes with replacement
-trasmission leaks
- couple small rust holes in corner of bed
- little bondo, body is straight
- shinny paint job but, couple spots where paint is chipping
- clean underneath
-asking 2850

What do you think it's worth?

It won't run without pouring gas down the carb, but has a new fuel pump and lines? Wonder what the issue is there? I'd knock off $250 just for that.

With the interior being trashed and needing a new dashpad, I think $2500 to $2600 is a fair price considering these cars aren't in demand, the car doesn't run reliably, and needs a little body work.

My mistake.  the new fuel pump, lines, and carb, were brand new 3 years ago.  he put them on when he bought it and then it just sat for 3 years.

Thanks for the good info!
