IMO $1000-1500 maybe 2k tops for a roller and thats if the frame, floors and all inner structures are in tact, sound and desert dry....
Check the dash & cowl area under the windshield and above the wipers remove the wiper grill and look under it . Check where the cowl mounts to the frame. Check the trunk & rear wheel tubs & trunk extensions, up where the vert top stows, vert top supports, radiator core support, all metal seams on doors trunk lid etc...
Only way I'd pay even close to $3000 for this car is if it was a sun baked desert dry car with surface rust, surface rust I could break off with minimal DA sanding. That body will take a great deal of metal prep just to get it ready for primer if its as bad as it appears.
Here is what the owner is most likely thinking....500-1000 for the shell and he probably has 1500ish in new parts. So if its desert dry then 2-3K isn't highway robbery. 1500 would be a good deal for you.
