The paint and plastics (bumper endcaps) look pretty good in your photos. Any paint fading on the hood and roof? How's the rest of the interior? Headliner? I'd go the extra mile and put in a good condition dash. But that sounds like a major pain in the ass project.

So you think that seems about reasonable?
Tough to say. When looking for my D1 wanted one with a good body and interior. Mechanical work is easier to perform over rust / paint work. IMHO anyhow. Also totally stock was key as well as relatively low mileage. Mine was $5k a few years ago and met the criteria. Took more time as wife wanted red. Hopefully that benchmark helps some for you.

Is yours a 5 speed? Also, the no sunroof and cloth interior is appealing to many people

But if you paid $5k, then I am very confident I will get at least $6k

It seems like low mileage (under 100K) and bone stock or relatively unmolested are bringing in the big bucks. The 5-speed basic SD is also a special class with additional value. Yours really presents well in the photos. And it's white.

All the plastic is good. Paint is perfect. Headliner is plastic (maybe the cloth was removed)

thats a good one. I'd go carsandbids over BaT tbh.

Have you ever listed a car on either? I don’t think carsandbids gets nearly the traffic or bids as BaT. I did some work on a 110 that got bid to $36k on cars and bids which didn’t meet the reserve. The same truck went on BaT and sold for $57k.

I see a lot of people saying that they might list on BaT, but I don’t think they will accept every vehicle like eBay will

Nope, just some guy on the internet. I can see a resto'd 110 doing a lot better on BaT. Its more collector-oriented than enthusiast oriented now.
