How much is this worth? (1990 turbo GXL?)

I've gotta sell my car.
I need to know how much do you think I could get (realistically, not MAYBE) on eBay for it as it is.

1990 GXL, Black, with TII skirts/spoilers
170 KM's (not miles)

Street ported, turbocharged, FMIC'd, with S-AFC, walbro, all that. Probably had a good 250 hp at 8 psi, more if tuned and boosted more.
The engine was just rebuilt 3000 km ago but JUST POPPED AN APEX SEAL. Housing is still good (compression fine on other chambers)

Car is very fast, body/paint is great except for some damage on the front of the driver's fender due to my brake booster failing! No replacements neccesary, just dent pulled and painted.

The interior (black leather) is abolsutely MINT, seats are perfect, same with dash and other coverings.

It'll come with aftermarket speaker and cd player, but not the amp and sub described in the "mods" link in my sig.

How much do you think?? (Please mention US or CAN $$)
How much more if I pulled the engine and replaced the apex seal??

Thanks

I would say 1k USD would be my personal bid. If you poper one seal you only have 4 working chambers.

About $1,200 USD as-is, in which case you could probably sell off the parts for more than the car is worth.

If you fix the engine, then it will be more difficult to determine what kind of pricing you can get because your car is so modified that it will polarize your customer base. If it were my car, I would ask $4,000 USD OBO and hope that some teenager takes the bait.

That's what I thought.... so basically I'm looking at 3000 US for a hundred bucks worth of parts and about 15 hours of labour....so 166 bucks an hour...hmmm
I just don't want to work on it anymore!!!!
