How much would any of you ask for it?

It's poorly detailed and has a bunch of issues that could be and should be fixed if the dealer wanted to sell the car for all the money that it will bring.
It doesn't have a leather interior, it has leather faces on the front seats and vinyl elsewhere. That's the "nearly free" interior you got in 1982.
You may think the tail looks silly but that's the tail you got in 1982 if you ordered a car with front and rear spoilers.
The mileage is suspect. The wear on the interior isn't in line with the mileage, so either the miles have been rolled back or the owner used the car hard. Which is more appealing to you?
4k miles in 20 years guarantees a bunch of things will need to be sorted out, assuming the miles are correct, which is not a given. Since the dealer can't be bothered to fix the little things, you think he's gone through the deferred maintenance issues? Not a chance. That car is a money pit for the next owner to sort out.
I'd reserve $10k to sort the car out and that's not counting any major engine issues or problems in the paint or body that might come up in a PPI.
The dealer may get more than I'd pay for the car, largely because there's always at least one guy that doesn't know enough about what he's buying and one guy is all it takes to sell a car.
