You're welcome - I'm always looking at prices, convincing myself to restore as I go instead of just drive them into the ground.
I paid $1800 for my 62 and $2800 for my 80, so I'm on the low end of the market!

If it's rust free, your asking price is fair. Just tell people it was in an accident (instead of "accident free") and was repaired. It has a clean title and that's what is most important.
"Such a claim"?
This is a forum that watches out for each other on scams. I am in no way implying you're trying to scam someone, but JTFZJ80 is correct on the CARFAX.

Going to be tough to find for your price range. One locked '94 on Ebay in Atlanta that fits the description, but not lifted, for $11,000.
A locked '97 on CL with 202,000 for $13,500.
Probably cheaper to just add lockers to a clean non-locked one, unless you're in it for the resale value.
If you're going to have the front axle done by a mechanic, take $1000 off whatever you're going to offer. Don't be surprised if it costs you more than that.
If they've got proof of service records showing what's up to date/replaced, it might be worth $7500 in my book. It is clean, for sure. The leather and paint look awesome, I know lockers command a premium and no rust is a huge plus...BUT it's still 250,000 miles.
Saw this on CL...I am not the seller.

191K, locked, doesn't look like it's rusty. Could use some interior refurb. $4400
