Default What's a good price for this car?

Spring's coming up, and I'm going to try to sell my Camaro. I know many people don't like ebay, but it's a good place to advertise, as well as the local advertising. Anyway, it's going to be on ebay shortly. Here's a description, along with some pics.

1976 Chevrolet Camaro Coupe
350 V-8: older model (pre-emissions, rebuilt). Many performance parts (see below)
350 Turbo-Hydromatic Automatic Transmission (3 speed)
Brakes have been replaced very recently
New bodywork and paint- "Motion Performance" paint scheme which less than two years old (needs to be color-sanded and buffed). A definite looker, as it gets stares everywhere it goes. Rear driver's side quarter has bondo, but not due to rust. Car is EXTREMELY rust free--came from Texas-- have build sheet to prove it. Car was originally Cream colored, with white and black interior.
New IROC front valence with fog lights
New Back glass
Refurbished interior-- has some paint peeling
-- New carpet & padding
-- New weather-stripping
-- Wood rimmed steering wheel
Pioneer CD player, with new pioneer front and rear speakers
Newer Keystone Klassic Wheels, with new Firestone Firehawk Indy 500 tires (less than 2,000 miles)
Engine Mods:
Alum. Edelbrock intake,
a very healthy Cam,
600 cfm 4bbl. Edelbrock carb,
Velocity stack,
Chrome “Motion” valve covers
Custom brackets
True dual exhaust (2 ˝”); dynomax headers, Flowmaster 40 series mufflers

Things that are missing/not working/broken:
Horn does not work-- I believe that it's a horn relay gone bad
Windshield is cracked (large stone hit), does not need immediate replacement
Driver's side power lock does not work-- power lock cylinder froze up, and was removed
Chrome drip rail molding is missing above the doors (originals were broken, did not replace)

Anyway, based on the description of the car, and the photos, what do you guys think for a suitable price I should hope to get? I have my own idea, but I want some opinions of other "car guys/ car gals", to see if my price lines up.

Try searching Traderonline.com and other similar sites to get a feel for current asking prices, and set yours accordingly. That's about the only way to do it, as compared to just pulling a price out of the air.

Also, with that relatively simple list of things broken/missing, why not fix them? Little things like that can take away from the overall package. If they're easy, take care of them so they won't be issues. Cracked windshields can be partially or completely funded through your regulator insurance. Trim, relays, and door locks can be found also. Leaving that stuff as broken just gives people something to pick apart during price negotiations.

Good spot Motion! The first pic was taken before I did the motor swap of the original motor. Took out the 305, put in the 350, and cut the hood. It was either cut the hood or get a cowl induction one, and I couldn't afford the cowl, so I was forced to do the surgery.

As for the $4K price tag, I think ya got a pretty good deal on the car. If it's as nice as you say, shouldn't it book around $7500? (According to VMR auto guides)
