Not sure where to ask this?

I was just curious if anyone could give me an idea of what my 83 Z28 may be worth? I understand that many things factor into this, I am just curious if maybe I am asking too little, or too much.
Here we go:
1983 Z28, I bought last year for $2600, I live in Michigan

The body is in fairly good shape, the only rust is the inside bottom of the passenger door, and surface rust beginning under the trunk lid around the rubber plugs. I will try to post a few picks soon. I had a little collision with a deer since the pics were taken, not serious, but it did dent the passenger fender and scraped off some paint.
The interior needs a headliner and the front drivers and rear seats have small tears in them.
It has been stored inside all winter.

Here is what has been replaced and added since I bought it:

Fresh rebuilt 350 .60 over, 1979 block , less than 5000 miles.
Edlebrock Performer intake
Holley carb
Headman Short headers
SSM Subframe connectors
New tires
New rear shocks
New Windshield
New U-joints
New carpet
New Poly Trans and Torque arm mounts
New Trunk lid shocks
And a few other things I can't think of right now.
It has a T5 and mechanically is pretty sound. Runs like a champ.

I just don't have time for her anymore, Full time and part time jobs, and full time at college!

I would like to get out what I paid, $2600, just curious what anyone thought. Thanks

I guess my pics are too big for the board. Any other way I can post them?

Convert them to Jpg and set compression towards high when converting.

Another Pic under the hood. Any thoughts about how much she might be worth? Thanks again

With a little work you could up the value a bit. Pressure wash the engine bay, seat covers on the fronts, fix the headliner, you can get the foam backed material from different places and use 3M spray adhesive to stick it to the headliner board.
The dented fender is a must fix item, having dents in the car really detracts from its desirability.
