Help Setting Selling Price

I have negotiated a deal with my wife where I can by another car that I have in mind, but I have to sell my beloved BRG '59 Bugeye. I'm o.k. with that, however, I have no idea what to ask. Here's a brief description:
- No rust, dents or dings (maybe two or three minor stone chips), freshly repainted BRG with a biscuit interior from Heritage.
- 1275 cc engine with Kent 276 cam, rebuilt SUs and electronic ignition.
- Datsun 210 five speed tranny.
- Panasport wheels.
- Clamshell opening hood.
- Everything works.
- About 68k miles on the odo.
- Moss performance header and exhaust system.

The car is absolutely beautiful, utterly dependable and a blast to drive. I would rate it an easy 2+/1-and am embarassed to admit how much I have invested. How much is it worth? What should I ask?

If!!If!!

If I didn't have a ground up restoration 70% complete and if I didn't have another tub waiting in the wings. You have described the car, interior/exterior color combination, engine, transmission, wheels, bonnet and exhaust I've always wanted.

Photos please.

I agree with the upper end of Jack's price range.

The reason I made such a range as i have not seen the car. The higher end is certinaly for a well done restoration.
