It sure could be. Got any pics?

Hagerty values a '76 L48, if that's what it is, in #2 excellent condition at $16,500.
#3 good shape $10,700...

Maybe, need pics and details. These are budget friendly models but there’s a dramatic value drop off between nice driver and a crap wagon

If its nice with not a lot of rust underneath 10k is a good price.

If it's worth $10K, it's worth taking a few photos.

Are you 100% sure you want an automatic? That will take another $5K to fix.

If it's only got two pedals, it's broken.
