I also realize you didn't claim it to be 'Uber Collectible" but a 27 year old car selling for 12k doesn't exactly fit into the category of you run of the mill car, thus the comparison.
Like has been stated earlier, you are not going to get a forum member here to pay 12k for that car. Most of the members here that buy old cars are cheapskates and do-it-yourselfers. They are looking for deals on cars they can fix up. This is why many have steared you to ebay. That is about the only place you will get anywheres near 12k.
So good luck with the sale. I hope it works out for you and the car finds a great home with someone that will truly appreciate it.
EDIT: I don't mean that you don't appreciate it. Just hopefully the new owner does as well.

Thanks for the post and i do appreciate the input. I actually fit your description of the typical board member here. I have owned a wide variety of cars and trucks and this is not my typical purchase because i enjoy the work involved and this car didn't take much work.
As far as the price, I didn't know where to start. So if someone is interested at what ever price, make an offer. You are not going to insult me and the worst thing to come of it is for me to counter offer or decline your offer.
