Default 84 cross-fire value

I took the cross-fire off my 84 - c4 and put an intake and
carb.
totally happy with the change.
I have a service manager from one of our local chevy
dealerships that wants to buy my cross-fire setup.
but I have no idea what would be a fair price.
any ideas as to what a fair price would be ?
I also don't know if I should sell it.
should I keep it for the next owner ?
would it make a difference in the price of the car if I
should decide to sell the car in the future ?

any help with this decision would be very appreciated.

thanks

Default 84 cross-fire value

Sold my Crossfire unit for $450 on ebay..Jeep owners use them to increase
the low end torque..Crossfire units are really good for those applications..

As far as the 1984..They are not very valuable ( $4000-5500) and I don't
think a carb will hurt the value..maybe even increase it a few bucks..I sold
mine last year for $5000..with 158,000miles on it..I did convert it to a
1990 TPI with the 1990 computer and a new custom made engine harness and
FORD 24# injectors..Car ran much better than it ever did with the
Crossfire unit. Neighbor now has it up to 176,400 miles and still runs
better than new.

My current 1993 has been converted to use a Cadillac 4 Coil Northstar
ignition system and runs great..that is the system GM should have used in
place of the awful optispark unit.

I came up with a totally different value for the 84 - c4
NADA Classic Car Report

http://tinyurl.com/ltpxx
High Retail $16,280
Low Retail $6,490
Average Retail $12,320

Will keeping the crossfire make any difference ?

To anyone in an area with emissions inspections, your car is worth
$0.00 without the original fuel injection.

Put it all in a box and pass it on to the next owner.

True beans, some can't pass even if they have cats with duals that were not
stock.

well, in my state,
they haven't gotten that strict on enforcing the emissions.

agree,
see my response

but
even that wouldn't necessarily make the car worthless.

Dad,
what do YOU think about keeping the old crossfire
would do for the value of the car, at the time of sale ?

thanks
