I also own a 78 coupe. Is that original paint? To me, that's a huge plus. Keep the tail. I hate them, but if it belongs it belongs.

Haven't heard about the maintenance, but if you took really good care of it and have some kind of records to prove it, that's important too. Haven't seen the engine or interior...so...

79k miles is hard to believe. We're talking 39 years old at this point and you switched out the speedo. Pedal rubber is replaceable.

I'm not doubting your veracity, just pointing out what a savvy buyer might think. That said, the car looks great from here.

I understand the 'not driving it very much' thing. I have a P car for sale right now for just that reason. But your car isn't costing you anything, it's not rusting, it's appreciating and you guys have history with it. Drive it more. Much more.

That said, mine is a different animal than yours, but I wouldn't sell it for anything close to $40K. Yours should bring that or more if you can tell the story and prove the facts.
