What should my car go for?

I plan to sell my 1990 Mustang LX 5.0 hatchback next year.

One owner (me). 125k (oil and filter changes every 2k since new). Light mods: gears, shifter, CAI, subs, exhaust, etc. Engine is all original. Faded Strawberry Red Metallic paint and a faded red interior. A few tiny rust bubbles starting to pop on the fenderwell lips and lower quarter. Runs perfecto: everything works except one door lock. I intend to ask $4500. and I'll go down to as low as $3,000. if I have to but no less. I expect to get close to $4,000. if not better as 5.0's are getting rare and mine is that one-of-a-kind Mustang 5.0: original, five-speed, one owner, never hit, never really abused and only very lightly modified. Not the usual seven-owner, hacked up or abused and tired '90 5.0 I usually see advertised. The minted-out early '90 5.0's (with new paint and engines) generally go for $7. - 8,000. or even more in some cases. My original, one-owner '90 in good condition should be worth half that. If not, I'll just keep it. Not exactly a sacrifice.
