I have the opportunity to buy 78 grand am-lemans for less than $2000, car is a v8, 305 chevy, floor shifter with tilt stering column. Is the price ok?

Take a good long look at the under side of this car. The late A-bodies had a big problem with the rear bumpers rusting off because of the Alam. bumpers where they bolt to the steel reinforcement coming completely apart & falling off then rotting the trunk floors out. If it's ok the price is OK, just order a new front wire harness & you can drop in a Pontiac right in. Make sure the floors are solid to.

No rust So Cal car? Two grand sounds pretty fair! Check the frame from the axle back, the G-bodies were known for rot in that area. It'd be a nice cruiser or daily driver as is, or it's a great starting point for upgrades. Good luck

Looks like a good buy, if rust free as has already been stated. The rear frame rails are probably the worst place for rust. Buy it, drop in a 400-455 Pontiac, and have fun dusting off a lot of Mustangs and Camaros.
