Was it originally a 4-spd car, or was it converted?
There was a black/gold 79 GA 301 4-spd locally in Raleigh a few years ago. It was very solid, no rust or damage, needed carpet and seats, but it was tired. The a/c didn't work. It went fairly cheap, it seems like asking price was $1200 or so and it went for $1000 or thereabouts.
There was a very nice 79 GA 4-spd advertised on this bulletin board some time back. It appeared to be an excellent driver and in very good condition. It seems like it was a $3-4K car.
I'd say the car is fairly odd and probably rare, but probably not very desirable. If it was a nice driver car, it could be a fun toy. If it needs very much work, I would stay away from it.
If you swapped in a hotter motor, I'm not sure what rear end fits those cars and is capable of handling a lot of torque.
