Ive linked a image to the car here ibb.co/59rYGQb according to the guy it should run, just has been sitting for 10 years. he stopped driving it since cosmetic problems. the cosmetic issues are driver side door is missing, (got broken) rear window is missing, both headlight cover thingys are gone, and a bunch more little cosmetic flaws and little broken things. car had been in a fenderbender and he repaired it (front clip but looks like good work to me) but the car needs repainted. interior is also kinda trashed. so what you guys think its worth, considering it should run and drive with some tlc and is mostly all there. i had never even heard of these cars before finding this today, so i am a total noob. is the fiberglass easy enough to repair?

I can't see the image so I really can't comment. If its GT then maybe $750-$1000. If you don't have the talent to do any of the repairs (body work, paint, interior work) then the cost to make it road worthy will far exceed the value of the car even after restoration.
IF it is a GT then you should know the doors are essentially unavailable

Well....if the motor is built to a larger cc (1776 , 1835, 2054?), maybe has dual carbs and a nice exhaust it might be worth $1500.
Then again it hasn't run in 10 years so who knows if the rings are rusted to the barrels, the carb (or carbs) would clearly need a full rebuild at least, the oil pump would also likely need to be rebuilt or replaced as well. And of course who knows about the other seals which have been dry for a decade.
The old guy likely told you it was worth $1500 because he was trying to sell you he car......
