How much is my mercedes worth?

Hey all - my wife's uncle recently passed away and left us his 1983 380 SL. He put $10,000 into it (I have the receipts). It looks like this was basically to rebuild the engine and do general servicing. It has 131,262 miles on it and looks to be in great condition, but definitely not a 'show room' type condition that i've seen in some old cars. It comes with the removable hard top.

My wife and I just had a baby and we just aren't going to use it. Its taking up space and so we are going to get rid of it.

Here is my question - how much should I charge for this thing, and what is a fair price? I can't find a blue book value for it and comparable models I've seen online really range in price. Any advice on what I should offer or how I can get a good estimate on pricing. Perhaps I can go to a Mercedes auto shop?

Also - any suggestions on the best way to sell this car? I've had it on craigslist but no bites.

Here is the craigslist link so you can see photos and get better details.

Thanks for any advice you can offer!
