Default 78 TA project, what's it worth?

Hey everyone!
Been a long time since I've been on here... Guess that happens once you have a kid

And another thing possible once you have a kid(s).. With great reluctance I'm going to part with one of my beloved Pontiacs

I planned on putting it on here & out front of my house for a big car show coming up in 2 weeks but am unsure what it should go for. I can't find any 77/8 project cars for sale anywhere.
My husband started doing the body work for me many years ago. Here's some of that;

And here's some pics I took last night. I have all the parts to put it back together, other then 1 piece that was rotted & wasn't available years ago when Jory was doing the work. Something needed for holding in the gas tank. We were going to just go with a fuel cell since I only raced the car but never got that far so it can be put back to "stock" now that that part is made.

Back in 1995 or 96 I had Jim Taylor build a 462 for it. My best run was 12.43 at 105? or 107? don't remember. It has an TH350 that never gave me any issues, other then it leaks when it sits.. While Jory was working on the body he also installed new Doug's ceramic coated headers. I have a 3" Pypes exhaust system for it with I think Violator mufflers, not installed. I also have decent used doors for it, the ones on are bad at the bottom. And I have an extra nose piece, red. Plus some other little stuff, as Jory finds it.

One of Jory's customers saw it last night & offered me $3000. I'm tempted to take it but if it's worth more....
Thanks!!
