Need to sell 244--what is fair value? 200 1987

I purchased my 87 244 about a year ago with the intention of restoring it nicely over time.

However, we have a new baby and now have realized there simply isn't time to continue tinkering with it, or space to park it since we also acquired new baby transport vehicle.

Need some informed opinions about a reasonable asking price. Here is a description of the car:

White 244 DL (repaint by previous owner looks fine), no rust to speak of.
Running fantastic (NO sputtering, smooth accel-NO issues here at all) after the following service performed by good shop:

Replaced wheels with a set of the Volvo classic alloys--in perfect condition.
Replaced AMM, fuel filter, pinions seal, rear shocks, upper control rod bushings, trailing arm bushings, front struts and mounts, rear main seal, transmission mounts, clutch kit, pilot bearing, remachine flywheel, midshaft bearing and support, oil trap stuff, brake junction block, new instrument panel/guage cluster with working speedo and odo, new rear tires, new front spoiler and bumper in great shape and BLACK not faded. Battery--7year wty is only 1 month old.

The interior is charcoal and is naturally a little tired, but no real damage. Tail light assemblies are old. Windshield seal needs re-installing--no real damage yet, but should be addressed.

Electric locks work, though trunk lock sticks sometimes. A/C not working. Glove box door latch needs relacing.

Bottom line is that the car runs unbelievably well for it's age--the engine is clean, body looks fine, just needs some other typical replacements for it's age.

Will answer any additional questions, but would like some opinions as to what I should ask for the car.

Thanks, gentlemen.
