Post up some engine bay pics. Also, where is this car from? You did not fill out a location. Where you sell it will have an affect on what you can ask. Just from the pics if there are no underlying faults, I could get $13K for it here. With some carpet clean up/swap and undercarriage detailing/bushing change (if needed) I could get up to $15K but it would take a lot of exposure. I took my black 82 to several Corvette only car shows and sold it within two months at an all Chevy show.

it looks like you'll be able to ask $15K for that if the engine is as clean an original as the rest of the car looks. The under car picture isn't that great, looks like some rust, don't know if it's just surface rust though

Minty fresh! Looks great, drive it and enjoy it. If you decide to sell it the market could be up or down but either way you'll have had some great times with it and that adds something to the value in my mind.

Nice color combo
I bought my son an 82 the light blue with dark blue interior with 20,000
miles. I like driving it. Taking it to corvettes at carlisle in august from Ny. It is weird seeing a cloth interior after seeing the leather all the time.I like the cloth interior. Looks comfortable.
