Yes, it definitely CAN be worth 10K, if it's doesn't have a rusted frame or birdcage, has nice paint, (could be nice original paint, or a driver quality respray), and runs and drives with only minor needs. I own a 79 L-82 4spd car with numbers matching engine and trans, and consider it to be in pretty nice driver condition. I'd like to think mine is worth north of 10K. I think by Hagerty's valuation tool, mine's worth somewhere btwn 16 and 17k as I recall, but I could be off.

I sold my 1979 L82 auto, with 46k miles in July. Car was in excellent condition, all numbers matching and with most options available. I found it to be a buyer's market. Advertised it on the Forum, eBay, Hemmings, Cars.com, and on various Craig's lists within 200 miles of my location. Hagerty and NADA valued the car around $18k. I sold it for $10.5k after almost 3 months of listing it for sale. Received only three legitimate inquiries and only the actual buyer ever looked at it in person. Buyer saw the car on Craig's list.
I followed other similar cars listed on eBay, and they either didn't sell or went for a lower price.
