Yeah, Buy the Wilwoods, Call GP SuperStore! Those brakes will raise you value thousands! LOL!
Seriously, if your already struggling to find a buyer now, I would not spend a penny on something like brakes (unless it was a safety factor). Does the car deserve them? Probably yes. But is the fact it does not have disc brakes on it THE thing that is stopping sales? No!
I would be reviewing everything ( I know you have), find anything glaring ugly, and take car of little things that don't cost a ton. Visual first impressions are everything.
Since your willing to spend a grand on it on the speculation that the brakes might help the sale, your could always use that as a bargaining chip. If you feel the need to sweaten the deal to get someone over the hump, you could let the prospective buyer know one thing you had planned to do someday was those brakes. Tell him you think think the car deserves them and offer to discount it the $1000 for the brakes.
I would not put more money into to it, just raises your cost basis that much more.
