Front end rebuild, brake issues, and messed up HVAC aren't minor... the parts alone will set you back a good deal of cash plus HOURS upon hours of down time. Hell the cost of an entire new front end is even high dollar with my wholesale connection (struts, mounts, control arms, shims, etc)

That's going to really hurt the value of your car. It looks great, don't get me wrong... but my only downfall on my '85 is the paint on the hood/nose (could easily be faded), the interior is the same as yours and the mechanicals are 100% front to rear.

Honestly, I don't see you getting more than $3500 at the very most for it. This guy has been trying to get $2500 only with no bites:

Heck, I just got my '83 for less than $500. It just needs a good respray and some vacuum leaks repaired. Suspension is new, HVAC works now (A/C just needed charge), interior is great.
