Black smoke indicates unburned fuel. A very rich condition. (and you must be rich if you can waste fuel like that) I had to throw a funny in !!!
You likely have a plugged exhaust. Cat converter.
Disconnect the pipe at the header and see if it runs better.
You won't get much for a car that won't run well, and makes the buying think its just a major project car, or parts car.
As for getting $3k, never happen. I will soon be selling my 1989 n/a, READY now to drive across country on a hot summer (or cold winter) day, for $5k
