Your "Friend" is not even close in his offer. Without pics a good guess from your description is 5-7K range.

I'd pay $4-7K for a roller based on your description. If I got it for $2K I'd be ecstatic, assuming you get the title for it.

I'll get pictures this weekend when I get back out to the shop. I appreciate the comments. Yeah he swears he won't sell it and that was suppose to comfort me. And thanks for not bashing me into the ground. I was really nervous about posting the question about it but knew that this was the best place after Cruising the forums.

Been there, done that with the "friend" thing. I had a 1984 Kawasaki 1100 Spectre I bought new and had NO intention of ever selling. In 1997, I bought an used Harley and this "friend" started bugging me to sell him the Kawi because he missed having a motorcycle. I finally sold it to him at a "friend" price with the the strict stipulation, when he bought a Harley, like he really wanted, it ONLY came back to me and I would give him all his purchase price back. Yep, less than a year later, I found out he sold it for more than twice what he paid me. "Friends" like that aren't friends, and you have already experienced this with previous deals you've given him.
If you are afraid of pissing him off or losing him as a friend over this, don't be. Once he figures out he can't take advantage of you anymore, he will probably not keep in contact anyway.
You already have enough responses that the car is far more valuable than what he is offering, so take it from there. I have no doubt you could sell it on this forum quite quickly at a fair price AND have a new friend...

I agree with the above that the car is worth several times that.
I worked for a very wise Lady in the late 80's & early 90's - over 20 years she took Budget Rent a car franchise's - Memphis from six or 7 cars in the mid 70's to 1500 cars and Greenville from 13 cars in the mid 80's to 1500 and then sold them back to corp. she told me... If your believe your business offers a valuable product at a fair price - HOWEVER WITHOUT a discount your friends aren't willing to buy from you when they need it.
You will not be in business very long.

I rarely want to price a friends stuff... if they aren't willing to price it, I figure I can't afford it, then again I have "not" priced friends parts before and they sold them for 1/2 or less than I would have given them on the spot. SOOO sometimes you are damned if you do... and damned if you don't. IMHO none of it is worth losing friends or damaging relationships.

Lately I tell them if you make the same offer to someone and they throw a number out below xxxx CALL ME,
I don't want to offend a friend with a number they think is unfair, if they severely under priced something because of not keeping up with pricing and I realize that - I will say - hey that's worth double or triple that- if they say I know take it anyway, fine, however I am not going to lose a friend to parts or money.
NOW if a friend or hell anyone has something I really wanted... I would start making offers until it got either
- A - out of my price range - like SERIOUSLY OUT of my price range.
OR
- B - got obscene enough that I ended up with it.

Sounds like a pretty cool Nova for the most part.
Once you post some pics I wouldn't be surprised if you do a deal for fair market value with someone from these parts.
I'd be telling your buddy to take a hike out of pricipal.

If you sell it to him that cheap he will probably flip it and you will be so pissed you will loose him as a friend anyway. Don't loose the car. Loose the friend.

Like others said don't part it out but in parts alone I see 5-6K all day long.

Nova bucket seats are hard to find. The tracks alone sell for 400-500. The bucket seat frames are the same as A-body but the tracks are shorter for a Nova.
