Looks like a great car. I love the (polarizing) color.

Are you trying to establish value in order to sell, or just to get an idea as to what it's worth?
The biggest thing I see is that the car is close enough to original that you should really spend the time and money replacing all the non-stock stuff and get that transmission sorted. I wouldn't address the rust bubbling, but if you're selling definitely point it out to interested buyers.

Based on the Hagerty valuation tool, a condition 1 '72E is $145k for a condition 1 and $104k for a condition 2 car. If your car is as described, I'd put it somewhere in there condition-wise after putting all the stock stuff back on it (closer to a 1 - but I haven't seen the car).
The valuation tool is a rough idea... There are a lot of factors that come into play with our old cars. The biggest factors in the case of your car - aside from actual condition - are the rarity of the color and transmission. If somebody has to have a pink '72 sporto, I think you could name your price. But the car will have to be perfect.
