How do I price this 95 Z26?

Not sure whether this is allowed, but I'm sure the moderators will decide before it gets posted - sorry if I missed a rule, but I did read them all :) Rules say that "offers" are not allowed for sales forum so need to get a fix on a ballpark reasonable $ figure to offer this for a quick sa...
