[V8] Buyer for my car?

These cars are too little in #'s to really pin them down.

If I had sold off everything (trying to) and saw this Aquamarine V8 that 
toots around Qualicum Beach Vancouver Island,
driven only to the market and church on Sundays, hell yeah I'd probably 
spring some $$ for old time sake and fun.

Anyone know this car?

Oops!
I made a typo. I got $6000 for my car from insurance. Still good to know if 
anyone is in a similar situation because this should come up as a 
comparable. The fact that there were so few comparables was the reason they 
could go with my valuation.

And...
Much as I like my allroad, I do miss the v8/5 speed drivetrain. I am not a 
fan of ESP and would prefer a torsen rear diff. I have learned to love the 
tiptronic though. Never thought that would happen...
