Value of 1979 Bronco

I was hoping all you could help me. Can you give me an estimate on value of a 1979 Bronco with the following details:

1979 Bronco
25K original miles
Painted 3 years ago ($2K paint job) Original paint was faded, no signs of rust
400 V8
Power Steering
PDB
NO A/C
No Rust
Aftermarket CD player
Leaks a little bit of oil, as most old trucks do.

Body appears to be a 9.0 out of 10. Engine compartment looks like it's never been maintained, and appears at one time to have a power brake leak. Original owner drove the truck from 1979-1999 and put 21K miles on it, garage kept. Second owner has put 3.5K miles on it in the last 3 years, including some small maintenance items.

Overall, it's a decent truck, but I'm concerned with the low mileage, it hasn't been very well mechanically maintained. Just parked for long periods of time, and rarely driven. I had another car I bought with low miles, and after driving it regularly, it started leaking from every oriface within 6 months due to the gaskets being hard as a rock.

Without writing a book, what would you estmate value to be at?

Set me up with some opinions..

Thanks for your time.
