i would say that its worth it, that is actually pretty cheap for a hurst olds from what i have seen them selling for. thats assuming its not a rusty pile of junk. that should have a 8,5" rear end that could justify 1000 of the asking price by it self, add all of the hurst olds parts and what they are worth.... i saw a beat to hell 442 sell in my area for 3500 a few months back and it had been hit hard in the rear... thye are getting harder to find and in this economy everyone is selling allot of cars and cheap so take advantage of it, in 5-10 years there wont be many g bodies let alone hurst olds and similar around and when the economy goes back up i am guessing the prices are gonna sky rocket. just my theory
On Base, I would offer him 2000. Its worth the amount of money you have to put into it. If it has not been taken care of and you will have to fix and replace everything. Then it isnt worth much to you. I would pay 2000 if i just had money to blow and dump into it. Its gonna be a while before she is nice enough to put on the road.

Congrats on the purchase. I would say the only thing I personally would look for, the only thing that is important (because in time, everything else can be easily brought up to par) is the frame and the underbody/floor pans. If they are in good shape, not rusted to sh*t and if the frame is relatively solid and not so badly rusted that it's soft and/or has tons of holes through it, it's a good buy.
As for parts, there are some good places online you can get parts to restore it. gbodyparts.com is a good one but they tend to be a little pricey. There's a few others, specific to other g-body cars but many parts are interchangeable. For example, there's elcaminostore.com (I'm getting door sill plates from there for my 84 Grand Prix) and luckily there's a few Grand National parts websites too, a good one is buickgn.com.
Those should get you off to a good start!
