Sanity check, value on an 87 T-Top car?

1. 1987 that supposedly had 90K on it before a restoration that has 10k on it.
2. "Hard to get into reverse, probably synchro issues"
3. Mostly stock except for possible aftermarket diff, intake & clutch.
4. Speedo cable broken

It's been soooo long guys since I've looked at this stuff and KBB is useless for this sort of thing. I sort of trust the guy's story, which is that they have a lot of cars and his dad recently died. He seems like a younger guy that doesn't really know that much about the car, just that he was basically a bystander to his dad's car collection.

That being said, the speedo cable is a red flag, so I look at this sort of a "what is the value of a high mile restoration of this quality" type thing. Also, not sure if the "hard into reverse" thing is a tell that it needs a new transmission. I would budget for a T56 swap up front then.

Emotionally speaking, I can easily overpay for this car, so I'm looking for an unbiased assessment from you guys before I make an offer or buy a car for more than I should

Thanks for any help.

Thanks guys, that sounds about right. My gut was saying this is an 8K midwest car, $6K highside TX car as mentioned. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't over invested.
