Probably worth what he is asking just for parts, and he will most likely take less than that. What is the shaker hood and air cleaner parts alone worth?

Strange picture choices, too. Why would a buyer want to know what it looked like with some tired, dirty Rally IIs and a bad stance? (Before they put the engine back in?)

Probably would have been better using a '78 Malibu wagon instead of the '78 el Camino truck body. The roof is hard to integrate with that bed back there.
