I'd go along with the $5K at the most. I also agree that letting a vehicle sit idle for along time does more harm than good. I just bought the sweetest looking car for my wife, litterally the grandmoms car only driven to church on Sundays. 1988 with 14K on it. Still had paper in the trunk and plastic on the rear seat, garage kept all it's life. Puting it back on the road was the worst thing that could have happened. Mechanically it fell apart. Leaks seals, trans. Everything rubber on it was at it's life's expectancy and was either cracked, split or leaking after it was flexed from driving. It still looks great but I couldn't give it away mechanically. Buyer beware.
A friend of mine bought an older T/bird with just about no miles on it a little while back, same problem,,it started with the heater core, then vacum lines/hoses, engine and trans seals,,and on and on and on.

Call me I'll make you a great deal. I have too much going on and too many toys and just don't need it. I feel when I actually put it on the market that it will sell quick.

Unlike my '87 the 1988 trucks are really not special at all and I would guess the 4-5K price range would be all over that thing.
It has taken a lot of work to keep my '87 looking like this and in top shape to drive every day. It still needs more and if it did not have the sentimental value it does (been in family since new), I would sell it.

many people are very proud of those 88-98 style chevys. i had a 98 sierra in perfect condition that i sold with 176k on it for $8300 and that was pushing it. the guy really liked it. everyhting worked as new. but you said the air was warm. that is an old r-12 system and after a retro-fit it will never cool like it did from the factory.
