First of all there is no such thing as a factory A/C all a/c from 1980-1985
is done at the dealer or yourself and their  not worth a flip for these
years.And second the po disconnected it because it didn't work for a flip
and just used gas.As for the value I can't say but don't think until 2010
you can get that price. But in case you do buzz me cause the next drawing
is wed and we can laugh all the way to the bank.     Marcus
