Help me value my 1974 Delta 88 Royale 4 door

Hey guys I bought this car from an estate sale four years ago after it had been in storage for 30 years. I did the necessary things to make it roadworthy again as a new radiator acid wash gas tank new fuel lines and general tune up. It's a 74 Delta 88 Royale that is completely stock and has no body damage faded paint not an ounce of rust it is an Original California Car and still Sports the 6-digit blue plates. It has the rocket 455 motor in it and the transmission to shift smoothly. The interior is very clean with no waves or cracks in the dashboard and no tears in the fabric. Power windows Radio Electronics work rate and it blows cold air conditioning.

The car was driveable as of two months ago since we were using it in movies and videos. However last time it was on a set somebody lost the keys to the car and in order to get there next shot decided in order to move it they would disconnect the linkage and remove the ignition. Obviously this person had just enough mechanical knowledge and get them in trouble and screw up my car. Unfortunately covid-19 19 has killed the entertainment industry and I no longer have a mechanic that can put it back together for me so the car has just been sitting in our driveway.

I have no interest in doing the repairs we have too many cars to sell so I figured my loss would be somebody else's great gain. I can't find anything like it nationwide on Craigslist so I figured who better than you guys help me put a fair price on it.

I think the price of $2200 your asking in the classifieds is fair, give it some time.

no they didn't call us before they made that decision they just acted upon it because it would have taken us too long to get to the set
