Value.....
Based on the rarity and nicely equipped options, unusual color combo, originality and condition of your car, (judged as very nice form your pictures) I would put a market value of from $15000.00 to $20,000.00 on the car.
The E-body guys will love it and it will appeal to the folks...
I found this car in my area through word of mouth.
