Quick run down of car from memory - 1st private owner was a dentist around the Madison, WI area and used the car to drive to his practice. Drove the car from purchase to around 2001. 2nd owner was a bar owner in the Janesville, WI that used it similarly, to drive to work. No expense was spared in the repair and maintenance of the car - I had a huge stack of records with AC service, suspension work, turbo rebuild, etc etc. He's still using my pictures - so I don't know how the car looks now.

first-you should go back and change your original post that claims you're the 2nd owner. you're at least #4
second-the 'speculative talk' is directly related to the asking price; if you were selling this as a good daily driver w/ some positive work done, and pricing it accordingly, there would be little to no commentary. the fact that you paid under $4k, drove it for 10,000 miles, did nothing to it and think it's now somehow worth that much more invites commentary.
third-if you think you know the value better than the guys on this forum then i feel for you. the only place you stand a chance of getting close to those numbers would be ebay. we're not trying to be jerks, just protecting the forum and helping you not waste your time
