68 Chevelle SS, opinions on value please...

[daleone3]

1968 Chevelle SS 396 with orig. drivetrain-complete numbers matching. southern car up to 96 then off to new england but still has all its orig sheetmetal. under car is very very nice, ready for a clean up and detail, interior is also an 8/10 with bucket, console, tach, automatic tran.
Car is red, should be sea mist green so could use paint and some minor patching though nothing extensive. Car runs well, 100k miles, not rebuilt but strong runner. now the question; he is looking for $16500 for the car which seems fair though the 68/69 cars seem to be lagging behing in terms of value. So what would you consider a fair price for this car, I did look at it and it is a great starter but value your opinions.
thanks,
scott.
