760 V8 - Fair Price?

Well, it's probably the worst possible way I could have done this: I bought the car ('84 760 GLE), bought the powertrain (5.0, AOD), bought the kit (Converse), paid for the conversion (Converse), endured the headaches (7 years), worked out the bugs and decided to sell it.

Now I need to get an idea of what to ask.

I've got about $7K in it, but I'm realistic about its market value. As far as condition, the car has about 138,000 miles and needs nothing except a new turn signal socket and one new window switch. The Nivomats work and everything. Cosmetically, it could use a dash cover (it's somewhat cracked) and maybe some magnets to hold up the rear headliner, which has begun to sag. Oh, and the power moonroof needs to be repainted. Here are the specs on the powertrain:

- production 302HO block bored 0.030 over w/ DSS forged flat top pistons
- Ford Motorsport E303 camshaft
- GT40 cast iron heads
- 1.7 ratio roller rocker arms
- production AOD transmission w/ Lentech street terminator valve body
- production torque converter w/ stall

Oh, and it's got all new 205/55 tires, an Optima battery, a newly rebuilt steering rack. There are maybe 5,000 miles on the new powertrain...

So what do you guys think this thing is worth? This is in Beaufort, SC, near Savannah.
