Rob,

If the car has spent its life down south (i.e. out of the rust belt), just
look for things you'd look for on any car a quarter century old.  The 78
was the last in the series, and most of the bugs were worked out.  I've
owned both a 75 and a 78, and they both worked beautifully for years
(although I had to do an engine swap on the 78 because someone let it set
for a -real- long time).  Basic parts are relatively cheap and plentiful,
but you might have difficulty finding others, such as gas tanks and wiper
arms.

If the body and engine are both good, a few thousand might be reasonable.  I
wouldn't give more than two thousand if the engine was bad but the body was
good.

If you're in the rust belt, take it to a Z speciality shop first and have
them look it over.  They should know all the rust points.  If the frame is
rusted but the engine and body are good, maybe offer $500, but be prepared
to dump in a couple thousand or so to fix the frame.  Unless you're in the
fabrication business...
