$22k if the AC blows cold.
$20k if the AC "just needs to be recharged".

That's what I would ask and I'd probably take 10% less. At those prices the car would sell reasonable fast in the spring where I live.

YMMV

it depends on a lot of things ….. a/c ps, pb. tilt. how many miles, clean birdcage , orginal interior and paint non hit body... I noticed you do not have the correct rims and any non factory parts will affect value .. also 4 speed is more desirable at least to me

You'd pay $30K? Doubt it.

Since you asked, I'm thinking $25K seems fair assuming no major issues.

Prolly not as high as you'd like to hear but keep in mind, it's truly worth only what someone is willing to pay for it.

Key word was ASKING price. If you start at 25 you can't go up.
Just based on the video it's a pretty nice looking car which should go for something @30.

Asking 30 for a coupe, even a nice one, might scare away buyers. Asking price needs to start with a 2.

from 30 to 35k you can buy a LT1 with a 4 speed that base model with a 200HP do not bring that kind of money .. ask 22k sell for 19 to 20 if the car is all correct

Pretty car.. If i were to sell it I would probably expect and accept $20k and figure it a fair deal on both sides.

Should get some interest starting at high teens. Doubt the wheels will make or break the deal that can always be changed if someone falls in love at first sight.
IMo working AC much more important

Anybody can grab a set of rally wheels. Nobody checks date codes on wheels... But yeah, fix the AC.
