Default Price on 1978 Corvette?

What do you guys think a 78 s/a L-82, AT w/ 25k miles on it is worth? It appears to be in good condition but the lower paint around the wheel wells and doors appears to be chipped from rocks. Original paint. Interior is nice. The only thing that concerns me is a leak that is coming off the oil pan. Owner claims it is not coming from the oil pan and he believes it could be from the valve covers. He says the oil never gets to the ground to leave spots. I tried to insert a picture of it but appear to be stupid when it comes to computers. I can only describe it as mainly coming from the front of the oil pan but does hit the sides a bit.
