To give you some idea of your car's value see if you can find some expired auctions on TradeMe. Talking of perished rubber, years ago I had a Datsun 260C and one day the left hand back door wouldn't close properly. Those cars had tiny little rubber 'boots' on the door latching striker mechanism. Luckily, the dealers still had them in stock even though it was a 13 year old car!
Good luck with the vehicle.
