Time to Sell - Looking to establish an appropriate asking price

Hello everyone. 
When I was a kid, I had my eye on a (beat up, junky) 1968 Olds 442 Convertible - which my dad eventually bought and restored (for him, not me).  My dad is now 83, and is no longer driving.
I just bought that car from him, which means it's time to move on from this glorious Charger 500 which I've owned since September of 2003. 
I'd appreciate any advice or direction on how I might narrow down an appropriate price for the car.  It's not a show car, but I'd say it's above average - I drive it 1200 miles or so a year cruising with my grandkids. 
Here are some recent photos (not many due to site limits) and a description.  Feel free to ask questions.  Thank you..!

Beautiful Charger, I wouldn't sell it for no less than 75 grand. You can add more pictures on another post.

Great looking car

It will take a special person to want it with a blower on the engine like that compared to a flat hood car

My last 69 Charger I sold the new owner did just that
Pulled the good running 383 I had in it and put a big blower 440 in it
I kept in touch with the guy and after a while he sold it
He could not get any where close to the money he put into it after he bought it from me and it took more time to sell than a regular charger takes as his price had to keep coming down to get it sold

But it sounds like you have another toy to drive so take your time and the Charger will sell
next project 70 Charger FJ5 green

Thank you - I should have mentioned I have a stock hood that would also be included with the car.
