I think that probably is a little too much for that car.

Esp. with the carbs on it, which pretty much kills resale, IMO (unless maybe it has a really built engine that needed carbs, and the job was well done, with receipts. But carbs on a stock engine kills resale).

Hard to tell without looking at the car (is it a quality paint job, how much and do you have the receipt?), but my guess is that it is a $2800 to $3500 car.

I don't know what it may be worth on the left coast but, in Florida, I think you could ask $6,000.00.
Last year, I sold a 71 which I had made cosmetically clean as a whistle. It looked damned good, a 1.7L with dual webers, new rubber, 5 bolt conversion, zero internal appointments, just painted steel. The paint needed redoing. The buyer drove it every day for less than two months, put 16 inch Fuchs on it and sold it for $5,750.00. Now, see the new owner doing DE all around the Southeast.

I bought my 73 1.7 about 4 months ago for $3,200. Extremely clean with new paint, xlnt engine, a/c, and all original (even had the original tool kit which was never used!!) I am in the L.A. area which is not too far from you.

Sounds like you may be on the high end-your picture looks good though.

If you want a better idea of what they go for in L.A. Try www.recycler.com.
