Default 1979 L82 Value???

I have the opportunity to purchase a roached out 1979 L82. No clue if engine is original, not been able to make the numbers out yet. engine not stuck, I don't think. I would love someone's opinion regarding the values of these cars. I've owned a C5, and a 1966 coupe recently. I know those values a little better. This car has decent body and original wheels (love those wheels!) but interior is 90 percent rotted/gone. Is it a 500 dollar car or 2500 dollar car??? or??? Thanks so much!

They say: A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words.
No picture is worth three words: I don't know.
