just to let you know how the fbody market is....i just sold my ls1 camaro for the price range your talking about. although firebirds always got more than camaros id see your range from 3700-4250 for your car. which still isnt a far shot from 5k.
bottom line..a car is worth as much as someone is willing to pay. find the right buyer and youll be fine.
if your looking for something economical. i have two daily driving capable cars for sale for under 2k each. both 5 speed. both single owners. both jap cars. pm me if you want more info.
ill be listing them on here probably next week but I'd give you first crack at em if your serious.
