Garage
So help me value this 87

I purchased this car in June 09 as a very nice guards red driver. Has lived all its life in garages which is why the interior and dash are very nice, no cracks etc. Had 168k on it in 09 and has 270k miles now, I like to drive it. The red paint was simply tired and not liking red I had it painted Mexico Blue which I love. Was a glass out, partial disassembly job meaning doors, bumpers, mirrors, sunroof, bits, but not the front fenders. Only ever heard compliments. New elephant suspension bits and bigger T-bars. You get the picture. I've replaced anything that needed replacing and lots of things simply to get them newer to make the care reliable period and the list is long. Drove the car this year from North Carolina to Baton Rouge, Palmer, MA for a Vintage event, and then a month later to Calabogie, ON for 3 days of track time. Never missed a beat.
Engine was rebuilt complete winter of 2010/11 because of worn valve guides. Was told all looked great inside but still did all the wear parts. Absolutely no leaks so far after 8 years. FYI, even has a complete 3 year old Griffith AC system that works well.
Can I get 40K, 45K, plus/minus for it ? I also have a ton of parts and 2 extra wheel sets and nearly everything that I took off for upgrading.
I know I have to make up the long description and 60 photo montage. I am the first owner to do track days and have nearly 70 days with this car so far, lots of Italian tune ups.
Reason to consider selling, just thinking I want to try a different car in the time I have left to enjoy this hobby.
