To give you an idea of value, mine was appraised recently for $6,500. in very good to excellant shape for 70K miles. My father bought it new and I have had it since 1987 and use it as a summer toy for criusing with the top down.
Yours has been garage stored and very low milage should have a good body and interior which is a great start. These cars are easy enough to work on and have very little electronics compared to newer cars.
Remember , the '82 was the first American made convertible in 6 years after the Eldorado was dropped in '76, plus if you have the brown leather it is the Mark Cross Edition.
A word of warning, if it has the 2.6L, don't touch the carb. unless you have an expert who knows them well, anything else you or a mechanically inclined person can handle.
In gereral, they are a great little convertible, almost 30 yrs. old, not a lot of them around, turns heads at every corner, worth saving and using as a classic.
Easiest way to post photos here is to link a web album that you have uploaded.
Best of luck and keep us posted.
