There you go Lu if Doc says it is worth $1500 I would agree with him. Being a Hornet man he should know. As for as the headlights go I think you said they come on for awhile then go out. The first thing I would change out would be the relay switch located under the hood. It would be the easiest thing to change out. Then next the headlight switch then the dimmer switch. I never have had a relay nor a dimmer switch go out on me. Have had to change a few headlight switches though. In a 30+ year old car it could be just about anything. Did they use breakers for headlight fuses in 76. If they did it could be that sounds like something is getting hot and letting go.

Lu it sounds like  a nice car. But you can read the prices in all the buyer guides in the world and it is nothing special, but a nicely equipped family car. People read these price guides and think they have gold. Also Eddie is right about sentimental value for a car you have had that long too and probably would affect the asking price. I'd go tops 1,500$ from your description. A seemingly minor headlight problem might cost you a couple of hundred bucks if you can't do it yourself. Then there is old hoses, belts, a tune-up and normal service that along with the headlight problem probably would drive the total price a bit over 2,000$ Just My 2 cents.
