Default What's it worth?

I'm not sure if this type of thread is allowed on this site but, since I can't seem to get an answer from anyone, I figured I'd take a chance.

I will be putting my 1969 Corvette coupe up for sale in the next few weeks and really have no idea what it's worth in today's market. I know what I'd like to get for it but, that might not be realistic.

I bought the car out of West Haven, CT after seeing it on EBay (not sure of the year that I bought the car but, I am sure it was over 10 years ago).
The car is equipped with the following options;

Factory black (900 code) car
Saddle vinyl interior
L46 350 / 350 hp engine (numbers match)
manual transmission (probably an M21); have not checked to see if it is the original or not.
3.70:1 positraction rearend
Power steering
Tilt-telescoping wheel
Manual brakes
Speed warning indicator
Side grille trim
AM/FM stereo (not installed in car; I currently have a factory style block off plate installed. The previous owner cut the bezel to fit an aftermarket stereo. I have a replacement reproduction bezel that goes with the car)
Factory rally wheels *I might throw in the American Racing T70’s if I get my asking price
I have most, if not all, of the parts that have been removed / replaced over the years including the old calipers, master cylinder and vacuum canister.

In the time that I have owned the car the following has been done;

2013 – Quadrajet was rebuilt by Eric Jackson @ Vintage Musclecar Parts.

2013 – Had the TI distributor rebuilt by Dave Fiedler @ TI Specialty.

2013 – Albert Galdi (Alss on the Yenko site) and his friend Joe went over the engine, fixing things that other, so-called, Corvette experts screwed up.
Replaced plug wires (other “mechanic” installed them incorrectly and even had a few that were cut into)
Installed rebuilt TI distributor and installed modern circuit board in the TI module.
Did a compression check on the motor (see attachment for results)
Performed an overall tune-up to get it running properly.

2014 – Took the car to a real Corvette expert, Gordon Mudge or “GordonM” on the Corvette Forum.
Gordon replaced the master cylinder, replaced all rubber hoses, installed stainless sleeved calipers, flushed and filled with new brake fluid.

2018 – Had the fluids replaced (rearend, transmission, oil and filter) and had the chassis lubricated. *I will be having the oil and filter changed before it is listed for sale.

I am not sure the year this was done but, I removed the interior and installed Fat Mat sound deadener, replaced the carpet, had the seat foam replaced and had new covers installed.

I also replaced the heater core and hoses.
