I did a little searching on the internet and found a couple of possibilities in Seattle. You might also want to call Norm Keiser, his number in on the GwagenClub site, for a ball park idea of value.

NADA is publishes the little orange colored book. Many credit unions use this to establish values on collector cars, and will loan to 90% of the listed value. There is a Website that can be found by searching for "NADA". (You might be a little suspect of anything that has an acronym that is pronounced "Na Da" - Ya think?)

I would bet the sales folks at your dealership can refer you to their "blue, orange, yellow book" values.

My bet is that a 1982 G in "good or better" condition will come in at around 13,000 to 15,000 $US. But it has been three or four years since I last looked at the NADA book. I think they list three levels or conditions, so you have a range of figures to compare to your vehicle.

Hope this helps.
