Change all the fluids, water pump, inspect your bushings. I'm assuming its paid off so once she is back to tip top shape, lower on some wheels.

This is what I would do.....

Write two different ads, take many pictures. Post one on cragslist richmond, one on craigslist Norfolk (assuming you live around here). Post the best for pics with the ads.

Ask waaay more than you want. Would you accept 6k for it? Then post it for $8.5 and if someone just happens to come along in that timeframe and offer you 8k, could you really refuse?
Just a thought. If it doesn't sell for the outrageous asking price, then who cares, you weren't really trying to sell it anyway.
