How much is my El Camino worth?

People are lowballing me big time. I need money for rent but I don't want to get ripped off either.

Specs: 1985, v6 engine needs to be replaced, recently rebuilt transmission with receipt to show work, newer cd player with axillary input for mp3 players

Has significant body damage - one big ugly dent near the rear tire, some scraped paint, and lots of little dents. So it needs body work and paint. But I've drove it that was just fine until the engine blew out on me.

This car barely runs as it needs a new engine. So I don't expect much. But as it's steel and has some decent parts not to mention a fixable El Camino frame with decent upholstery, I figure the parts alone are worth a certain amount. People have offered as little as 300. So please, anyone, give me an idea of some sort of range I can fairly sell it for. My brother in law says the steel alone is probably worth more then 300.

Update:

What is the least I should take for it, meaning the frame and upholstery and transmission are worth more then that for parts?

    An 85 isn't that desirable of a year. I sold an 87 with a strong running 350, good driver and no body damage. The most I could get was $1200. And that was 4 years ago...times have only gotten worse. I think 300 is your best bet. Steel value has come down.

    Well to begin they did not make a SS El Camino in 67. It maybe worth round 3 to 5 grand no longer having seen any images of it. But with no interior and no vigor-teach and needing paint it can be commonly in the direction of the 3.
