14.9k? He's high on something. Looks to be a bone stock drivetrain. Paint is "good"? 7k tops.

I don't think you can apply standard model metrics to this.
Stock is worth more  imho.
My guess- ~20K

Not sure how you come up with that much. I see nothing special about it aside from someone stuffing a GN drivetrain in another GBody vehicle. Bone stock all around. No WAY it sells even for 14k

"Professionally built 1978 El Camino with complete exterior, interior drivetrain 1987 Buick Gr National super charged."

That would concern me.

Add the crappy non-mandrel Xhausts-R-US exhaust...

It's 4-5k in GN parts in a 2-3k body, add 2k for labor - 10k tops, and the setup is 10 years old. I will stick with 7k.

As cool as it is... the fact that from the door back they kept the Chev styling (especially the wheel arch) destroys the body lines and makes it look unfinished.

$5-7K tops for an odd duck.
