My girlfriend wants to sell her 240D.

I'm currently at a midpoint in a mild restoration on the car.

Photos of various things done to the car can be seen here: 240D Photos by JoshuaWray1 | Photobucket

I have many new parts to go in it like:
-New carpet
-New shifter bushings
-New evaporator
-New receiver drier
-Tons of Dynamat
-New firewall grommets
-New trunk trim
-Used uncracked dashboard

There are many new items on the car:
-New tires
-New A/C compressor
-New windshield
-New battery tray
-New battery
-New-ish timing chain (12k miles ago)
-New-ish front steering linkages
-Replacement Getrag 4-spd transmission.

This is a project in the works, but the car will run and drive just fine (without a dashboard, center console and HVAC system which is currently being cleaned out).

Just wondering what it would be worth, since everything (including old parts) I've retained are here and will be sold along with the car.

WOW! Your girlfriend keeps one looking W123 there. How many miles are on it? Since its a CA Car I would see you getting the more top of the mark price. I would say post it up for $3,500 and see what you can get?
