Selling my Z - price questions

Hi folks,

I have a 1979 290zx that I'm going to be selling. The engine is in good
shape and the transmission was replaced in 1998 and hasn't had too much
mileage since then.  The paint is faded and scratched by the driver's
door (keyed) and the interior is original, so it's faded and cracked in
some places and in general not in the best condition.  It's got a pull
out am/fm stereo, wired for fog lights, and a full size spare tire.
And it does not have rust problems.

The problem I'm having is that I'm not sure what to sell it for.  The
reason that I'm not sure what to sell it for is that the car has a
salvaged title from an accident that happen in 1999 (right after I
replaced the transmission).  I had it repaired and painted and have the
paperwork showing what was done.  I've driven it plenty of times since
then and it's still a great car, but with the salvage title, don't know
what to ask for.  I'm located in San Jose, CA and the car mileage says
86k (I'm assuming 186k on it).  Any ideas/suggestions?

I appreciate any help anyone can provide.

$1000 would be lucky IMHO from what you described. These cars still aren't
bringing much money in REALLY good shape and almost all of them run good as
the engines are almost indestructible. The salvage title isn't going to
help matters either.

Yeah, keep it around and running for backup. (like me) It's still a baby
at that mileage. ;-)

Really good ones in nice shape are selling for 2000 - 3000 on ebay. I saw
one started at 5000 (!!!). So lucky 1000 for a beat-up one sounds about
right.
