Default what is it worth

Any ideas what a 1979 Ironhead 1000 would be worth in good condition.&nbsp\\; I saw one on the side of the road for sale and was trying to see what a fair price would be.&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\;
thanks

A friend of mine is a freak of nature with regards to mechanicing and his ability to retain knowledge.&nbsp\\; Based on his opinion he advised that 1979 sportsters had a predisposition&nbsp\\;for popping out of either 1st or second, gear I forget which one. I found that to be true when I couple years ago I went with an acquiantence to check out a 1979 sportster and it did pop out of gear.&nbsp\\; So heads up on that.

The 1979 Sporty is a unique creature. Very hard to find parts.
