Default Good deal?

Okay then people. This car is a four speed manual. Is this 1977 L82 worth 14k? Tha'ts what the guy is asking. It has 48k miles. One owner. Body straight and block sounds strong. Reason why I'm asking you guys is that I've always owned other classic cars and never one of these. Thank you for all your help people.

Not bad for 14K but can the low mileage be verified??..
I paid 11K for my 78 10m yrs ago with similar mileage but according to the PO when pressure was applied he admitted that since he was not the original owner that it had probably gone around at least once!!!

Yes, get it before it's gone, you'll kick yourself if you don't grab it at that price.
