Might have to sell my car....need to know its worth (has new motor, tranny, etc)

I might be selling my car, and need to know its worth cause its not exactly something you can look up in kelly blue book. here goes.

'89 RS 179,000 on body
35,000 on LO5 350 w/ TPI (paperwork)
9,000 on rebuilt auto tranny still under warranty (paperwork)
2 year old black paintjob...lifetime warranty (paperwork)
new waterpump, starter, ingnition switch, brakes (fr. and bck), u-joints, 6x9 speakers, speaker covers, fuel pump (swap to TPI), tires

MODS....K&N filters w/ bottoms cut out, airfoil, gutted MAF, AFPR, cheap flowtech headers w/ custom y-pipe, flowmaster 3" exaust all the way back, new auburn posi w/ richmond 3.73 gears, VERY NICE Sony head unit, JL audio 12" sub (w0) w/ 400 watt amp, tinted windows.

the body is in perfect condition except for the front GFX (like i said 2 yr old paint), the interior is whatever you would consider AVERAGE for a 3rdgen.

I know how uninspired you all might be to answer this question, but i need your info. There is no pic, and I know everyone's opinion of this will vary, so i just want to know how much YOU would pay for it. thanks guys

Got any pics? Those are worth 1000 words ya' know.

It all depends on how bad you want to sell it (what's the cheapest you'll go) and timing. Timing is everything. You might find someone to pay you $10k in a matter of 2 days, or it could take you months to find someone to pay you $5k.

Without seeing it, I'd say I'd give you ~$4k for it. Only because I'd have to drive pretty far to see it, plus I'm not someone you likes to buy something that's already been modified.

Dont have any pics. Right now Its not even up for sale...i just had someone randomly offer to buy it, but they want a price. If I did end up trying to sell it, I dont really want to sell it at all, so i'd hold out for a great deal.

Oh, and lets pretend I'm selling this car in whatever town you guys live in.
