Default Resale value

How would I go about determining the resale value of a 1980 L82. It has glass T-Tops & the optional alloy wheels. It is stock except for a Eddy carb, Mallory dist., & Walker exhaust. It runs fairly good & has a lot of new parts that have been installed over the years, a few still in the box waiting to go on. The paint is original in what I would call fair condition & I know for a fact that it has never been in an accident. Any input you all might have would be appreciated.

No L82 option in 1982. One engine, the 350 with the cross fire injection. If it now has a carburetor it is far from original under the hood. Important to some people, not to others. Depending on miles with fair paint it is most likely closer to the lower end of Sixpacks estimate than the top.

Thanks All for your input. I made a typo on the MY. It is a 80 L82 with OE engine except for the mods I listed earlier. White in color. I will get the mileage soon, some pics & some more details on the few faults I know of. I consider it to be in above average condition considering the age of the vehicle & the TLC it has had. I am pretty sure I am going to sell it in the near future. Once I get a general idea of the high & low value I will put it on the market.
