Default $ Value of a 1974 Firebird?

Hi!
I'm new to the board and just picked-up a '74 Firebird Espirit. Where would I go to figure out what this car is worth, so I can put it up for sale? NADA was not too helpful and not much info on the web regarding value.
Some details:
*I bought it from the original owner and it has all documents and receipts.
*130k miles
*CA car
*100% stock (for exception of Chevy Rally rims on it)
*Yellow ext with blk vinyl top/white vinyl int
*V8 (I have no idea of the CI--how do I figure that out?)/auto
*Original AM/FM radio and no other options (no AC)
*Exterior no issues and paint is nice
*Interior-all original but some brittleness is the white plastic panels

Thanks in advance

I can post an image later if that helps.
Thanks in advance
Search for completed auctions on ebay, should give you an idea. Or post up some pics.

Their aren't going to be any guides that are very accurate for that car as far as I know.

I'm a fan of the single headlight 74-76 birds!

Looks nice, just lose the Chevy wheels. If you like original wheels, get a set of honeycombs.

Nice ride, as you can see by the signature I'm a little biased.
The engine is probably a 350 2bbl. There should be a sticker on the radiator support with timing info and engine cid. The only other factory v8 would be a 400 2bbl.
I'd say its probably worth in the 7k to 10K range depending on if you find the right person. I'd go with some 14" rally II's on there for the factory look.
