Rebuilt engine may be a plus or minus, If its done right and looks all original thats one thing, if it looks like some shade tree mechanic tried to do it in the dark and the corrugated tubes are broken, the engine bay is dirty etc then thats another. If it looks good then nothing wrong with that.

Lots of people looking for a 5 speed, not a whole lot of them made in comparison to the Automatic, if its original then thats a plus

If you were painting the car why did you not repair the T-top bar. Interiors can be redone, a Good dash pad is worth about $75 from a junkyard, find one install it. Also look for another seat, do not install it but include it in the sale. I would suspect that the color may not match exactly because of different life cycles cars experience.

15" Stock Rims? Thats actually a minus if so

I would look on autotrader.com and do some comparisons with similar cars. Start from there.

Here in Michigan I would think starting at $5000 would be reasonable. It would depend on your location.

Whatever someone is willing to pay!

Look online for similar cars in your area. The prices listed are what the car is worth.
