If you want the car for yourself it's not a bad deal, if you think your going to resell it I think it's a bad idea. A 1991 Camaro isn't worth that much anyway, its not like it's a 78 Camaro.

It also doesn't sound like you know too much about cars. Do you have the equipment needed and the knowledge to do body work and fix the engine? If not paying someone to do it and for parts will cost way more than $1500.

Basically I think if you want to learn to work on cars and want to make this a project go for it. If you think your going to resell it for more money don't bother your going to lose money.

It's a beater what do you expect for $300 a decent dinner at a fine restaurant would cost more. Buy it and drive until it dies the sell it to the junkyard for $25

where's the rust? is the frame about to fall apart? that would be a good indicator that it's worthless. panels, interior, other stuff can be replaced cheap (www.yearone.com is a good supplier of aftermarket chev parts), but if the frame is weak there's no amount of money that will make it worth 1500 bucks. that's called a money pit.
