Default Another "Value" Question

You guys seem to be fairly tolerantabout these questions, so I am going to try to slip one more in. Bone stock 1979 L48 automatic, real nice black interior, carpet is getting worn, everthing works except the clock, cruise control, power locks, and the power antenna. Has a small crack in the body where it meets the bumpers on two corners. Yellow paint that looks good a 20 feet, needs a new spoiler and front valance, really should have new paint someday. Have not spotted any rust. It had new exhaust and master cylinder when I got it, since then it has new calipers and pads, headlight switch, rear U-joints, and tires. 98k on it and it runs and drives real nice, I have put almost 5K on it since I got it in May, and I really enjoy driving it, but it seems to have a tendency to draw thunderstorms. Anyway, I have about $6200 total in it now, don't plan on selling it, but where am I at in the realistic 'Vette price world? Good, bad, or ugly?

You're still pretty even in my book. I wouldn't make an offer for any higher than that if I were looking to buy it, especially not knowing or seeing it in person.

Paint will help a lot when that time comes.
