‘76 turbo Feeler..

I bought this turbo off a fellow pelican 2 years ago.. at the time it had a very powerful 3.3 in it as well as the original case on the shelf. I drove it pretty hard until the oil pressure started to drop consistently and wanting to er on the side of caution I sent it back to the mechanic who had done the swap to put it back to original 3.0
I consider this car a savings account i could enjoy knowing i would sell it as soon as a building project started and i needed to capitalize.
Unfortunately the car languished at the mechanics and finally after 11 months it’s done
My project breaks ground in a month so I am thinking it’s time to sell.
My question is should i start here or just go straight to BaT?
I used to love the classified here before they changed the rules and a dialogue would develop.. now Bat seems the only place to offer that kind of exchange..
I love this car and don’t really want to anonymously put it up on the block...
here are the specifics. I would be curious on the forums thoughts on a good starting point price wise too..
